Save Our British Sweetshops

Article Abstract:

The traditional small British sweetshop is enjoying a revival. These shops are particularly popular in attractive small towns. However, some are finding that large manufacturers are unwilling to supply them, as they sell only in relatively small quantities. People enjoy choosing sweets they used to purchase as a child, and this trend has even been picked up on by large retailers such as Co-op, which are now offering traditional sweets in their pic & mix ranges.

Customers from hell

Article Abstract:

The modern attitude of the customer always being right has led to a rise in cases where a shopper is very rude to a shop assistant. Shoppers tend to forget that assistants are human beings, and treat them with no respect at all. Assistants are not in a position to defend themselves, as they fear losing their job if they answer back. People often behave very differently in shops from elsewhere, losing all the inhibitions which they normally have.

If it fails the test, the teddy bear gets it

Article Abstract:

The technologists and trading standards officers who are responsible for checking the safety of toys sold in the UK are particularly busy in the pre-Christmas period, when 55% of all the new toys sold each year are purchased. There can be a particular problem when high levels of demand mean that a certain toy is in short supply, as this can prompt an influx of cheap imitations which may not meet strict safety standards.
