When you think about it Grantham had a number of garages all giving good service such most of which have now been resigned to being changed into some other usage.
Sadly Grantham now has no real garages that sell petrol and other car related necessities, but instead seem to concentrate on flogging alcohol, bread, and other rubbish to get us to part with our hard earned cash.
Bring back real garages I say and get rid of the pseudo coffee shop come off Licence, come toy shop, come supermarket.
Oh dear!!!!! I read mine back often & embarrassed! Come on mate this changed 30 years ago! You was getting about the country them day’s, You just moaning for the sake of it? Whoever remembers Witham Garage selling bread & Alcohol???? Oh ok then sorry??? Hahaha! Nah never!
No Greeves I am not complaining just making a simple observation that garages used to sell things related to cars like petrol, oil, spark plugs and so on, Now to day that has all gone with the exception of fuel and replaced with alcohol, food,more alcohol lotto tickets and other assortments of rubbish including the obligatory Costa coffee.
I was just saying bring back garages like they used to be, where you could get you car serviced, nowadays they want to be like mini marts,
Death of many good business ideas, Apathy’ Mandata a very good example!
You talk of the death of good business ideas, look around Grantham or indeed where you now reside and see what happens when good business ideas becomes corporate greed and the small independent goes under. People talk too freely about good business ideas only to see there local high streets slowly die, take the good business ideas that became that what we know as Amazon, tell me how much has that good business ideas injected into your local economy? Now tell me how many businesses are suffering from that kind of thinking.
I am not opposed (as you think I am) to good business since, but I’m sick and tired of witnessing corporate greed at every opportunity, only thing that counts to those slick suited smoothies is how much money they make, whilst at the same time lying to their back teeth about how much of the local community they are, they only remain while the profits are high, by such time they have totally decimated the small traders who may have been serving the community for decades. Look at what the supermarkets have done to the high street, they give you low prices but at what cost? and perhaps a final thought for you may be how can supermarkets offer low prices if the pay shareholders dividends, easy really the suppliers take a hit, then one by one they go under. Round and round we go greasing palms and smiling sweetly.
Nah!
