An Englishman Diary.

An Englishman's day- and who can describe it better than Englishman's wife? It begins when he sits down to breakfast with his morning newspaper.

As he looks through the headlines there is nothing he likes better than his favourite breakfast of cornflakes with milk and sugar (porridge if he lives in the North), fried bacon and eggs, marmalades on toast and tea (with milk, of course) or coffee.

He in fact gets such a meal if there is enough money in the family to buy it.

After breakfast, except on Saturdays and Sundays which are holidays, he goes to work by train, tube, bus, car, motor scooter, and motor bike or walks there. He leaves home at about 7.30.

At offices or factories there is a tea or coffee break at 11 o'clock. Then at mid-day everything stops for lunch. Most offices and shops close for an hour from one to two.

Englishmen are fond of good plain food, and they usually want to know what they eat. They like beefsteaks, chops, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, fried fish and chipped potatoes.

There are usually two-courses in the mid-day meal- a meat course with a lot of vegetables, a sweet dish, perhaps fruit pudding and custards with tea or coffee to finish.

Then to work again with another break in the middle of the afternoon, once again for tea or coffee, sometimes with a cake or biscuit.

The working day finishes at any time between four and six. When an Englishman gets home he likes to inspect his garden before the evening meal: tea, high tea, dinner or supper. When his evening meal is over, the Englishman may do a little gardening and then have a walk to the “local” (the nearest beerhouse) for a “quick one” (a drink, alcoholic, of course). There are a lot of people at the “local” and he can play darts, dominoes, and billiards or discuss the weather, the local events or the current situation. But if the Englishman stays at home, he may listen to the radio, watch television, talk or read.

Meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, cereals from various parts of the nation are available throughout the country during any season of the year. Frequently, the problem for the consumer is not the lack of variety of brands of food, but rather the bewildering assortment from which one must choose. In addition, the consumer can choose from foods that are fresh, frozen, caned and cooked or uncooked. Currently, virtually all food stores have available a wide array of frozen foods especially prepared to be heated or cooked in a microwave oven.

The microwave oven has revolutionized the home preparation of meals. It, along with the supermarket, where virtually any kind of foods are available, make the preparation of food the most time-efficient in the world.

The first fast-food chains like McDonalds, Burger King, Arby's and Wendy's which offer sandwiches, hamburgers, French-fried potatoes, hot dogs, pizzas, pancakes, chili and fried chicken, have been joined by other chains some of which offer Mexican, Chinese and other ethnic foods. The cost of the foods in such restaurants are frequently cheaper than in one were to prepare similar food in one's kitchen. Consequently, an entire family may frequently go to eat at fast food places for convenience and economy.

A more recent development in the American food industry has been the demand for healthier foods. The food industry has made available a wide variety of low-fat diary and meat products. Animals are now being scientifically bred to produce lean meat. Even low fat cheeses and ice-creams are being produced. Vegetables, fruit and cereal consumption are increasing.

Of course, the cost of organic foods is substantially higher than for nonorganic food. The market for organic food has nevertheless been expanding.

SHOPPING.

Text: The Big Stores of London.

Grammar: The Future Indefinite (Simple).

The Big Stores of London.

One of the features of London is the number of big stores, most of which are to be found in or near the West End. These stores are the mixture of tradition and modernity.

They developed in the nineteenth century; they maintain the dignity of that century, yet there are always ready to follow new trends.

The big stores of London are vast big buildings, many stories high, equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, with well-planned lighting, ventilation and heating.

Departments are carefully named; “1Budget Dresses” are really cheap dresses- but no customer likes to be thought of as a “cheap” shopper. The same applies to “Ready-to-wear”; it is used to be used for the garments that were not made-to-measure, though now of-the-peg clothes are the rule rather than the exception. “Mother-to-be” or “Lady-in-Waiting” will often be found instead of the conventional “Maternity wear”. Then there are newer words for the new trend of fashion- “Mix-and-Match”, “Unisex”, “Millinery”, “Gowns”, and sometimes still the words derived from the French- “Mantles” for coats, “Layette” for baby-wear. Another feature of London's shopping life is the chain-stores, in which the goods are displayed on open counters. A wide variety of goods is offered- chiefly foodstuffs, household goods, clothing and stationery. These chain-stores have branches in most British towns of importance.

One very well-known firm of chemists has shops in many parts of London, too, and in these you may buy not only dairy produce but also groceries, soap and household articles.

Most of the food stores, called supermarkets, operate on the self-service system: you go in, puck up a basket, walk round the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a check- out point, a cash-desk where you pay for all your goods together.
