Snow, Sainsbury's, Baked Goods and the Internet

The British LOVE the snow.

I'm sorry I'll be the first to admit how much I love the convience of the supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsbury's, M&S and Tescos) here.

Another convience that I love: the amount of baked goods and baking products found

I am a professional internet browser. Is there any way I could get paid for this type of work?
