Re: Oh no

Out of curiosity, how many shops can people think of that have been going for 20 years .

We know food shops like butchers, bakers tend to have a long family history but how many non-food shops have lasted that long ?

I guess Garth Dawsons will be one of them, after that I'm stuck

Re: Oh no

Must be going on nearly twenty years Originals (menswear) have been going.

Although it's changed hands, isn't the camera shop still called Garth Dawson's?
