Today has been a day for reorganising the shop. As this involved moving two large counters around the shop, (pictures tomorrow) we decided we had better close at least while this was being done. Shutting the door and putting the closed sign up had no effect. People still picked their way through and around the chaos as if nothing unusual was happening.
So then we put the shutters down, only half way, as we didn't really want to feel as if we were working in a metal container. Two minutes later, two more intrepid members of the public bent double to get under the shutters and came in to have a look around.

You do get some odd people so it dosnt really surprise me lol
Somehow I feel better knowing that there are oddballs on that side of the ocean as well. LOL!
In my experience shoppers are rarely put off. In the late 70's I worked in a West End department store on Oxford Street. It was the height of the IRA's terrorism campaign.

Absolutely unbeleivable.
Just goes to show, there's nowt so odd as folk! :)
