Just watching on Sunday catch-up!. 

The 1980's was my favourite decade. So much of that was familiar to me. I did not like the transition into the 1990's.

Enjoyed the show. Probably more so that I am seeing and learning things about my city through the decades. Next weeks looks interesting, probably the round-up show. 

 

If you have £248,000 to spare, you can own the corner shop, and maybe, just maybe, breathe life into the shop and enjoy a never ending stream of grateful customers .

I preferred the much earlier decades showing how the corner shop was so much more than a convenience store.

It was the heart of the community - was nice to see how it brought people together

 

Me too Renton

My English was quite poor there. What I meant was my favourite decade generally was the 1980's, not really specifically about this programme. 

These types of programme have interest all the way through for me. I learn something each decade. 

That’s big for a “corner shop”

I doubt you would want to do it these days, despite the fact they are probably doing great business during C-19.

I remember that too. I also remember butchers shops having sawdust on the floor.

I bet someone picks up two chocolate bars and only pays for one!

Do you remember Majid on that Hunted programme?

There are more Chinese and Somalis around me than any other cultural group. I am a minority.
