TWICE you’ve used the northern expression ‘Made Up’, meaning pleased, in headlines. This would not be said or understood down here in the effete south.
I realise it was used because, apparently, three make-up shops are opening in Marlborough. This is not good news, being about as useless as three new bookies.
Superdrug will be welcomed but make-up shops will not last long in a town with an average age of 67. If only local rates and rent allowed the independent businesses which attract visitors!
