Here’s some basic reality, as we fund a land grab in Ukraine to the tune of billions a butchers shop that has been going for 30 year in my old town closes its doors for the final time this week, a top lad, always good for a chat, just an ordinary white hard working bloke who sold a good product at good prices……the green grocer who was across the street now power washes block paved drive ways !
Alan & Scot, a disappearing type of Englishmen !
I suppose a mobile phone shop, Turkish barbers or take a way will replace them no doubt assisted by generous grants.
