Re: Cornershops
Our corner shop was bought by the Co-op, about 10 years ago, and became a supermarket style Late Shop. It also now has a Post Office on the premises. It's convenient but it's not a patch on what it was before when, as well as selling the usual items, it was also a deli and sold lovely fresh cooked meat and fresh cheeses. You also had the personal service from the owners. If you wanted something that Gerry didn't have in stock he would order it for you, unlike now when you get, "We don't stock it, there's no demand for it".
Long live the good, old-fashioned corner shop.
