High Street
just seen this on bbc website ..
BBC News - When was the High Street at its best? its about the tv programme starting tomorrow night .. when they took a high street back to victorian, edwardian, 30s, 50s and 70s ... i think it will be interesting to watch .. Anyway .. what 'time' would you want to go shopping in ... one of the retailers says edwardian times .. customers are saying the 50s .. when you got customer service and fresh food and knew where it had come from ...

Re: High Street
fer me the 50s n early 60s were best, proper shops, staff who knew their jobs, polite n wanted to help yah, much of that has sadly vanished.

Re: High Street
Did you notice what it did to pull people into the Market square? I wonder if Gayle saw it?
