Kopek Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 OK OK but the next time you are decrying the loss of your corner shop or newsagent or small business that you personally valued, think back to how your favourite corner shop could have been saved!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
