A good question. Another near here is in the process of closing. Peleton in Rugeley is no more. He said that the Internet has more or less killed him off.
I'd alter that to say, "Public preference for the internet" has killed him off.A good question. Another near here is in the process of closing. Peleton in Rugeley is no more. He said that the Internet has more or less killed him off.
That's the sort of advert money can't buy.If it's Sheffield bike shops we're discussing then here's a quick shout out for Tony Butterworth's in Middlewood. It's owned and run by the nicest guys on the planet, they will price match if they can, are always happy to rummage in the spares box for you and what Mike the bike whisperer doesn't know about bikes probably isn't worth knowing. It's also worth a visit if you're a fan of massive fluffy dogs.
Note that this is a different Butterworth's to the one mentioned by @KneesUp and is on the other side of town.
I'll look online for the item, if it's a specific item, but I'll travel to the shop to buy it.I'd alter that to say, "Public preference for the internet" has killed him off.
We might moan that local shops are closing, but they are only closing because we decided not to use them any more.
