We're part of a community led acquisition of the village shop which, from May, is run on a voluntary basis 7 days a week. The village pub was purchased on a similar basis 4 year's ago. The retiring shop owners had 3 days off in 47 years! One to collect an OBE for services to the village, 1 when a relative died, and the other when they were just too ill to serve! Tesco is quaking in its boots at the competition we're now threatening!
