High Street

just seen this on bbc website ..

BBC News - When was the High Street at its best?

its about the tv programme starting tomorrow night .. when they took a high street back to victorian, edwardian, 30s, 50s and 70s ... i think it will be interesting to watch ..

Anyway .. what 'time' would you want to go shopping in ... one of the retailers says edwardian times .. customers are saying the 50s .. when you got customer service and fresh food and knew where it had come from ...

Re: High Street

fer me the 50s n early 60s were best, proper shops, staff who knew their jobs, polite n wanted to help yah, much of that has sadly vanished.

Enjoyed the prog. It was a nice little insight as to how life was back then.

Just might watch that, before my Father died I was having a terrible time trying to convince him it was time to hang his keys up, because quite frankly he was a danger to the public and himself, very sad but very true

Did you notice what it did to pull people into the Market square? I wonder if Gayle saw it?
