Things aren't what they used to be.
Now a Cotswold outdoor store. Went in for a pair of Merrell's Jungle Moccassins, approach shoes; great for walking on holiday. No longer stocked.
When i worked in Durham for the Durham Advertiser group Burton's was my tailor, then I went up market to Hepworths. Where do you go today for a made-to-measure suit? Does anyone wear one anymore?
Here in my bit of the north east - Sunderland and County Durham there is an expression to denote your complete refusal to comply with something you're asked to do…
"I'd rather show my bum in Burton's window".
I wonder how that came about. Just a thought.
