Ghosts Beat Tesco

Councillors in Abingdon, Oxfordshire have voted to stop Tesco expanding their non-food lines, according to the Oxford Mail. An interesting part of the story is that,

"traders from the town wore ghost outfits to lobby councillors - the chamber of commerce warning Abingdon would become a 'ghost town' if Tesco got the go-ahead."

According to Wikipedia, Abingdon has an historic market, if not quite as old as St Albans, so we completely understand traders' concerns! Go, Ghosts!
