Comment on First signs of a slight decline in secondhand bookshops in Britain

Comments

The cost of power in the UK at the moment is going to put pressure on every kind of bricks and mortar store.

MY recently renewed commercial power contract attracts a Govt subsidy which puts it more or less the same as it was last year. This subsidy applies to all other businesses, including book shops.

Indeed, but at a huge cost to the taxpayer and only for 6 months.

I've seen some local businesses closing down because they see the writing on the wall and are unwilling to pass on price increases to locals.
