This is genuinely a bit ridiculous

[kaberett]

Things the tiny corner shops just over the road from my flat carry, apparently routinely:

• garlic Lurpak
  
• a flavour of innocent fruit juice that neither of the enormous 24-hour supermarkets on my way home does
  
• Kidderton Ash
  
• Little Black Bomber (not wildly over the odds)
  
• live yoghurt
  
• Swedish crispbread
  
• rose water (ditto at neither of the big supermarkets)
  
• string
  
• sink plungers

ET CETERA.

I am not entirely sure I understand London.

I'm astonished at the idea of even one enormous supermarket that doesn't have live yogurt (non-live natural yoghurt being rare[eta I'm doubting myself now, but that is right, isn't it?], and natural yogurt being common). Do you really mean literally that, or is it some preferred kind they don't have?

But be that as it may, yay for useful local shops! I used to live on top of one once, in Coventry.

idk, it's super-fancy organic set live yoghurt? and the two enormous supermarkets around here have an astonishingly limited range given their footprint.
