At some point, no doubt, you’ve been strolling down the High Street and spotted that the old Wimpy/Our-Price/Blockbuster has been replaced with haphazardly positioned tarpaulin and scaffold. Accompanying this was a soundtrack of fruity language punctuated with bronchial laughter and a hammer drill. Sadly, what you were witnessing was the substitution of warmth inducing nostalgia with a cold, inferior retail outlet. Most likely an establishment with the word ‘Pound’ contained in its name.
Never let it be said that I was involved with shrugging these icons of trade out of the town centers. No siree! My shop will be 100% online! (It also puts the kibosh on any shoplifting, which is handy.) *
It’s all in the planning stages at the moment, but rest assured, I am working on ‘You Know It Makes Sense!’ merch being top drawer, useful and not in the least bit tacky. Put it this way, you’ll be hard pushed to find a better quality glow in the dark tea towel anywhere else on the World Wide Web!
To be sure that you are there for when the shutters go up, sign up to the ‘Makes Sense’ mailing list. Saves you keep clicking.
* I am fully aware that the online shopping revolution is the foremost reason for the High Street’s decline. I was trying to bypass any guilt by attempting to be ironic. Nope, didn’t work… I hate myself. I’m pretty sure I’ll perk up if you all buy something once the shop is up and running. In the meantime, perhaps I could lead us all in a minutes silence for Tie Rack.
