Erm... now, do you think there's anything else you need?

You don't mind going, Fiona, do you?
Fiona:No!I like shopping, and anyway,
I'd like to find my way around here a little bit.
Judy:Oh, that's tremendous then.
Well.shall we just mn through the shopping list to make sure you know where all the shops are?
Fiona:Good idea. Fine. OK, here it goes.
Er, the first thing I've got is one large white loaf.
Now, where shall I get that from?
Judy:Yes, if you get that from the baker's ... so that it's nice and fresh,
Fiona:Yes, OK, erm... how do I get there from here?
Judy:Well, it's not very far.
You just go down New Street,which is where we are,
and it's on the other side of the road on the comer of High Street and New Street,
so it's on the left.
Fiona:Good. Fine.Got that...and er...a pound of apples.
Now,where do you usually buy your apples?
Judy:At the greengrocer's, erm... you know the one.
It's very close.
It's next to the baker's actually before you get to the baker's.
Fiona:On the left-hand side of New Street?
Judy:Right. It's on' the same side of the road as the baker's.
Fiona:OK, erm ... a pound of cheese.
Judy:Yes, you can get that from the Co-op, where there's plenty of choice.
Fiona:From the Co-op. Mm-mm.
mm.
Judy:And again that's quite easy to get to.
You go right the way down New Street until you get to the High Street.
Fiona:Oh, so it's opposite.
Judy:That's right, and
the Co-op is on the other side of the road just opposite New Street,
you can't miss it.
Fiona:Yes. OK.So,that's er...cheese at the Co-op, er...box of tissues.
Now, where would you like me to get those from7
Judy:Probably the chemist's is best, I should think.
It's usually cheaper there.
And that's on this side of the road,
so you just go down New Street and it's on the right.
It's on...again on the comer of High Street and New Street,
just opposite the baker's.
Fiona: Oh yes. Yes, I remember. Yes. Fine.
Erm ... and a large tube of toothpaste.
Er...shall I get that from the chemist's as well.'?
Judy:Probably best to, yes.It'll save you time too.
Fiona:OK. Fine. And er...oh,the...yes,the local newspaper.
Judy:Yes, get that from the newsagent's.
Fiona:Yes, right.
Judy:Now, that is in the High Street on the opposite comer to the Co-op.
There's a very small street in between.
Fiona:Oh, I think I've seen it. Yes, it's actually on the comer.
Judy:It's on the comer opposite the Co-op--quite a small shop.
Fiona:Fine, And last of all airmail letter...an airmail letter.
Judy:Ah, yes. Now if you get that from the Post Office which is next to the Co-op,
and then over the road is the newsagent's.
So there're those three shops in the High Street.
