Why are most UK shopping centres named after saints? Jan 2, 2010

What is saintly about a shopping centre? I am an atheist so I don’t have a religious objection, I just find it annoying that every city I visit has a St Whatever’s full of identikit shoe shops and cellphone stores.

To help us worship our one true God: Shopping.

That’s the only right thing to do. Such Saints lived their lives to please God. Give honour to whom honour is due.

Funny. I don’t recall hearing of "St. Bluewater". Or "St. Westfield London".

I’d agree about the contents of the shopping centres though. It’s like there’s only 4 possible stores in all of the UK, and the centres just alternate them with different names.
