Forever

 August 7 Word of the Day: Forever 

Forever New the shop selling Forever and New in unquantifiable deliveries. Join the mailing list for Forever New bargains and updates of all the latest forever news. Brave fronts of the Forever New chain open across the metropolitan area, coming to a shopping precinct near you. Reports of a merger with an unnamed rival are overstated. Shareholders in Forever New are advised to stay calm. Likewise, rumours of a shift from department store to online warehouse must be taken with a pinch of salt. Recent fire sales at Forever New outlets are glitches, not a sign of things to come.
