Drive from England into Wales and you are immediately greeted by a different type of language. Luckily the road signs are generally displayed in both Welsh and English otherwise you`d see tons of English motorists
Shop CountersAlthough Supermarkets have put many local shops out of business it`s still nice to know that there are a few fine establishments trading that serve the local community. As a kid growing up in Manchester I can remember living at home with my parents and our local shops seemed to cater for everything that you could possibly want. You`d find a butcher, baker, greengrocer and convenience store and the same faces would be stood behind the
Shop Counters in all of the small businesses on a daily basis. Routine trips to these shops would be taken by my mum as she stocked up on the groceries that she needed. A hearty welcome was received as you`d walk into the stores by the men and women who stood behind the
Shop Counters. You could tell they valued your custom and would always have a spare minute to chat about nothing in general. Today there are still armies of shop keepers located in all parts of the UK and they stand behind their
Shop Counters with a smile upon their face. The supermarket might have driven certain businesses down the drain but luckily there are still a number of them around to serve the local community.
