Why we are always given half the information needed?
We need to know the names of these outlets, could be one of the best supermarkets. We have a register for those naughty persons who fool around with our children but the names of these shops seems to be sacreed. Is there any interest at heart of these people who have only money at heart? When are we going to grow up and treat thee citizens with some dignity? The Maltese citizens should make the next electoral maifesto and shouldn't be done by neither of the parties since their interest is always at heart. We have an example of Gonzi PN.
