[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1098387, member: 70552"] Yep crazy how prices have risen due to rising costs. One fish and chip shop near me closed “temporarily” last summer due to “staff shortages.” But still hasn’t reopened. One of many I suspect. My parents’ old shop is being run by a couple Of Asian brothers now. Every time I pass by there’s maybe 1 customer in there max. Though now with online orders/ delivery that can’t be seen as the indicator of being busy. But the parade of shops which it is on has now been whittled down to 2 shops, an accountants and wealth management offices. The rest of the shops converted to residential maisonettes. Local pubs, also closed down. My dad, now long time retired, always reminisces about the “good ‘old days.” Forgetting to mention the recession in the 90s. Lol. Still, I think it’s a slow evolution really as people’s tastes change, reflected in the economy and life moves on. I can see why people look back and hark on the past (Brexit?!) - really based on nostalgia and losing roots and sense of community. [/QUOTE]
