Post by: Corporal Jones on January 11, 2017, 10:10.: In an area like GA the locals are essential to any business surviving, sadly i think many locals can be a bit tight and would rather buy cheap hotdogs and beer from lidl than support a local business. Many businesses rely on the non residents and tourists who tend to spend money.

Post by: gaveteran on January 11, 2017, 19:49.: Agreed. I remember when a walk round the middle section was at least mildly entertaining, and at best might turn up a bargain. The last six months its looked like a tat jumble-sale, and the same unwanted stuff keeps going round and round. I might buy up all the silicone cake moulds just so I don't have to see them again!

If I want "dull grey and chilly", I can get that at home.
