It doesn't have to be exclusive - just elusive

I love the idea of guerrila shopping - there's something romantic about the elusiveness of visiting a store that only exists for a short period of time even if I can't afford the price tag.

Expecting internationally renowned designers to set up shop in a disused warehouse in Liverpool might be a bit much to expect but after the success of Stella McCartney's recent fashion shoot at Lipa you'd hope she might be willing to give it a go.

And there's always guerrila dining if shopping's out of the question - restaurants housed in makeshift structures or delapidated buildings that have a deliberately limited lifespan. We're a city that's got plenty of culinary talent, rows of old warehouses and lots of imagination so it's bound to work, but if anyone takes up the challenge please remember where the idea came from - I'd love a reservation.
