Am I unique? After reading Helen Mead's column in the Evening Press ('shopping Is Just A Girl Thing', December 13), I am convinced I am.

I hate shopping. The weekly trip to the supermarket I consider a necessary evil and as for shopping for clothes - ugh!

My husband, on the other hand, loves shopping. So I totally disagree with her last sentence.
