So maybe some of our empty shops will, as the country comes out of recession find new keepers. I am not confident but we have to keep optimistic ......... dont we ?Don Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-85790031447147899442010-01-04T11:33:05.309+00:002010-01-04T11:33:05.309+00:00You've ot a tough job there Michael in develop...You've ot a tough job there Michael in developing the bookshop for 2010, but I'm hoping you will make it a success.<br /><br />You are right in the fact that it needs to be more than a place that sells books, and mabe offering these other services you may find a way to increase revenue.<br /><br />I will let you on in a little secret though that would get me buying more from you. I love books about Ramsgate and Thanet etc, and in your window you have all the reprints you've made about all these subjects, but... there are no prices on these Thanet ones (that I have seen).<br /><br />If there were prices on there (especially for the reduced ones) then I would certainly be more inclined to buy them.<br /><br />That's just a suggestion, but it's a great showcase in your window, and maybe others feel the same as I do.<br /><br />Good luck with it all.Ademhttp://ademdjemil.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-18696525087083193472009-12-31T23:54:17.136+00:002009-12-31T23:54:17.136+00:00Well said Bertie - I never go near Westwood Cross ...Well said Bertie - I never go near Westwood Cross if I can help it - what a soulless dumpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-53370891999214282002009-12-31T23:03:41.617+00:002009-12-31T23:03:41.617+00:00A very Happy New Year, Michael.
Your pictures ove...A very Happy New Year, Michael.<br /><br />Your pictures over the past few months have perhaps captured without you realising it, the essence of our Thanet Towns; i.e. the ability to walk the streets; window shop; take pictures; share news and gossip and all without any one's leave and to be part of a vibrant community.<br /><br />The one area that you have not shown us is Westwood Cross (TDC's warped concept of Thanet's new and principal town). Is it because it is simply a sterile, privately owned 'cathedral' to consumerism where an eccentric individual walking around as dawn breaks is likely to be told that his 'photography' is banned as he is on 'private property'? In other words a town implies 'ownership' by the community to enjoy at all hours without let or hindrance. The worst examples of the 'out of town mall' like Westwood X I have had the misfortune to visit were in Lurgan and in Camberley. The shutters came down on the whole sites at night and any access at all was denied. Westwood Cross a 'town centre' is a contradiction in terms.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.com
