Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 11:00:44 PMTown centres are into a death spiral. Few interesting shops means less people bother going into town. Low footfall makes it less worthwhile having a shop in town.

I think a lot of the blame rests with greedy council's. High business rates and inconvenient and expensive parking for a start.
Yes,  I agree with all that.   :upvote:

I do wish we had our old shops back.   I don't half miss them.
It's hardly worth going in to our town now,  not unless you want your nails done, or a tattoo,  or a daft  hair colour doing.  
I miss a decent hardware shop too.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 06:18:19 PM😁 😁 My first husband was so drunk he fell over a low wall into next doors garden.. Our house was on a higher level..
He fell into her prized Lilly of the Valley.. He didn't feel a thing.. He just went to sleep..
Just sayin'

Yesterday at 06:23:53 PMI saw an advert for a metal tray..
You just put frozen food on it and it de-frosts in no time at all.. No plug in..
It looked fine.. Not bulky.. easy to store..

Ooer,  I've never heard of one of those Scrumpy.

It certainly was a lovely day.   I washed a big throw and it was so good to be able to put it out on the line and it dried, for the first time in many weeks.

Then I had to go down to Wickes to get a new bathroom door handle,  my other one has broken,  and I didn't even need a coat in the lovely sunshine.  

Tummy a bit tender tonight,  I am hoping it will not get any worse.

You'll soon be able to leave off the linament too if the promised heatwave arrives.
