There’s a branch of Tesco in Cardiff, Wales, which has got fed up with people shopping in their pyjamas and has banned shoppers who are wearing them! I very much enjoyed listening to the woman complaining  about being banned from the shop. As she says, ‘I only popped in for a pack of fags‘! English learners should take the opportunity to read the article and then practise their colloquial English listening skills by listening to the unhappy shopper. This great story is here. Is it just the Brits who like to go shopping in their nightwear?
