Easter weekend

[SteelCityShoes 179]

Everyone seems surprised that I’m open as usual. What are the rest of you doing?

Sweet F A, would be absolutely no trade at work. Would like a complete day of doing F A, but my wife has committed the whole family to a 3pm church service.

If you open and make a decent/acceptable amount of money, then you were right to open. If I felt I was going to do maybe £100, I'd have opened.

Opened 8-30 am till 4pm. Took a couple of squid short of £300.

just Monday off for me

Most difficult part of church, on a Good Friday service,  is not shouting out.

"He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!" 

During the reading of the Passion.

Are you his mother? ..............

If it's not a personal question "Are you a virgin?"

I didn’t even have that long off at Christmas lol

[Michael 261]

Had Friday off....came in Saturday to find some kind (a**e) soul had put their fist through my front window!!!

Two short weeks in school holidays, in a time when trade's not good anyway, and now out of pocket with this!

I'm honestly getting to the point of giving in, totally F***ed off with it all

I'm trying, and hate giving up but not sure where it's all going!

As I've said before, I honestly think high street retail is on it's arse, and I can't see any way back in the foreseeable future.

My wife wants me to shut and get another job but I've worked here since I was 15 and owned the business for 25 years and it's hard to let go.

Things are not desperate yet, and some days give you hope but then things like this happen!

Maybe I do need a complete work-life change.

Get a grip man!

I came in this morning to find my window vandalised too. This isn’t the first time, one was replaced last year. 

Anyone know if I can get my landlord to pay for a shutter to be fitted or would that fall to me?

[cowers lane 583 536]

No harm in trying, but I'll be amazed if they agree to pay. When the train co "rebuilt" my shop, we were discussing the front, they suggested a small window. ( it is a very small shop), I said  I wanted brick wall .  got a brick wall. I've had windows before,  just a complete mare when some shit bag decides to smash it.

[SteelCityShoes 179]

Yeah, third time in two years now
