Ciao Susie -just saw this and enjoyed reading it, especially as you mention my Grand-parent's Bakers shop -Mr Chaffer on Haywood road -it's always nice when someone remembers them. It's a sad sign of the times that all the small shops are disappearing -squashed by the Supermarkets of course. In fact when our family shop was up for sale, back in the mid 80's, although there were a few interested non could get a loan from the bank to buy the business as they could see the way things were going!
