We used to do quite well out of shops in low-rent locations, railway arches run-down areas selling surplus stuff, components and all that sort of stuff. It was a wonderful age.

Since then town centres have died as the council's parking charges drove shoppers to out of town retail parks, and now we have my local town steadily filling with tattoo parlours and hairdressers. They've even driven the shoe shops out! It's about 10 years since our independent record shop (only record shop) closed down.
