I can't help thinking though that there were already too many card shops, even before the start of the recession, and it does make me wonder just how well the owners of this business did their research before opening.<br /><br />I'm someone that hates buying cards, simply for the fact that there's too many to choose from. In addition the card manufacturers seem to invent special occasions, like "Second-Cousins, Twice Removed Day" just to try and sell more cards, and I refuse to have anything to do with it. Being a tight so and so, who objects to paying much over 50p for a card anyway, I always buy my cards from the really cheap shop next to Burtons, so I'm afraid I wasn't much help to the owners of Kristys.<br /><br />As you say, TB, it's all very sad, especially for the owners, but unfortunately there's no room at all for sentiment in business.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-42657105207487960892009-07-24T15:28:35.966+01:002009-07-24T15:28:35.966+01:00Yes that is correct Tonbridge Blogger you are no r...Yes that is correct Tonbridge Blogger you are no retail expert! you complained about the post office trying to sell you stuff you didnt want but it is a good point of sale for them.
