These days, it would cost over half a million pounds just to o pay 20 staff's wages in a department-store, then there's greedy council tax, heat and light. We won't see shops like that again. Maybe In Shop type one man/woman/couple units. Such a shame. 😮😮😮

I cannot decide whether that is a posh person trying to do a Wearside accent, or a Wearsider trying to do a posh accent. . .
