The lady in question is fine, thanks for all your concern. I'm sure you will all join me in sending her our best regards.

The guy came in wearing a mask and hoody, and came behind the counter with a hammer. He demanded she open the till where he took money and also cigarettes and money.

He then forced her into the back where he ordered she open the safe, but we don't hold the key for the safe.

He then rifled through her handbag and took her mobile phone. He tried to take her purse but relented and gave it her back.

The police have been around of course, he is on CCTV and forensics have been taken so there is every chance he will be caught.

Booze Busters will not normally put two members of staff on mainly due to the budget, but maybe this will make them sit up and take notice. A couple of us will now not work on our own, but again will this make much difference when all said and done? If the shop is going to get robbed, it will do no matter how many staff are on.

Many will say why work on your own - the simple fact is the majority of us have families and the hours make it easier to work around, and after all we all go to work for money no other reason.

Anyway I shall post an update as and when I know anything. I just wanted you all to hear it from the horses mouth as it were.
