After many years, Dave has decided to close his CB shop in Wragby near Lincoln. I know he has been struggling with trying to make a living from the business, partly due to his wife's ill health meaning he could only open for half the week, but after I saw 'closing down everything must go' signs in the window last week, I went past thismorning and saw what looked like the shop being emptied. It is quite sad, as he has been trading since the 'glory days' of CB, but I guess it is hard to compete with ebay etc. Nik |
