Junk Shop

Another view from my office window.

This shop opened last December and, bizarrely, it's gone from strength to strength. They started off calling themselves Barter Town, it's now Bits and Bobs. Their tag line is 'we buy and sell anything'.

I say 'bizarrely' because they sell some real rubbish - dirty old furniture and children's cast off cuddly toys. I was sent in last week to look at a fridge they had for sale as ours at work had broken down and we needed a replacement in a hurry. It still had ice and a few frozen peas rolling round the freezer compartment. Gross! Needless to say, we didn't buy it.
