Loss of local businesses ...

It is with great sadness that we have to mention the loss of a few local businesses.  

The bra manufacturer has gone bust, the specialist in submersibles has gone under and the manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation. A dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers and the suppliers of paper for origami enthusiasts has folded. The Heinz factory has been canned as they could not ketchup with orders, while the tarmac laying company has reached the end of the road and the bread company has run out of dough. The clock manufacturer has had to wind down, the Chinese has been taken away, the shoe shop has had to put his foot down and give his staff the boot and, finally, the launderette has been taken to the cleaners!
