Our HMVs are disappearing. Miss Woolworths. Kwik Save was another one. Dixons (know its Currys now) was a childhood one where dad would buy all the tech in the house |

"Any that close early on a Wednesday.
Do you live in a small Market Town? "
Very close.
Even on the estate where I grew up some of the shops used to shut early on a Wednesday though. |
