Re: John Birkett RIP
I remember some long while ago John telling me that the business rates for the main shop alone were around £150 a week and that some weeks he only just managed to break even, so it was the rental on the other shops latterly that financed the electronics one for most of the time. However, that wasn't the case back in the old days when the line of people waiting to be served came out of the door and half way down the street and you had to join the end of that line and wait your turn, hoping it wouldn't start raining!
The other thing that you have to realise is that there's not just the 'one' daughter.
