They don't all make it

Friday's a bit of tough day for this theme. Working from home, there's the choice of three shops in the village or the retail meccas of Dunfermline, Inverkeithing and Cowdenbeath. Hmmm. So, a slight detour.

Everybody loves a wee local shop and there's a great weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth when they shut down. But did anybody shop there? Och no. Sure, you could hardly find anything and anyway, B&Q is much cheaper. So the wee shop goes bust and everybody blames B&Q like B&Q made them.
