Better still be a builder, or run a boat servicing business then you can really rip the second home owners off! Unfortunately market forces dictate what sells, hence all the clothes shops. Nice to have a grocer or a proper fish shop instead but this is not now viable in a town which is getting more like a Disney set by the day!dick tatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601142303132421697.post-7063113996684228552008-06-02T13:22:00.000+01:002008-06-02T13:22:00.000+01:00aaah cors yes....didnt realise Fulfords had left, ...aaah cors yes....didnt realise Fulfords had left, I missed that...<BR/><BR/>Salcombe continues to amaze...a shop selling drift wood as lamps survives and a estate agent doesnt??OOdevonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16656724922076979999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601142303132421697.post-76529651224215321472008-06-02T12:22:00.000+01:002008-06-02T12:22:00.000+01:00Fulfords left Salcombe a long time ago.- it is Ire...Fulfords left Salcombe a long time ago.- it is Ireland Weller who have closed this time.Salcombe will find that it is more affected by the current property downturn than most places - look for some bargains in 6 monhs timeookevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601142303132421697.post-13270389700212032752008-06-02T09:03:00.000+01:002008-06-02T09:03:00.000+01:00I remember Page and Chant, they were opposite the ...I remember Page and Chant, they were opposite the Salocmbe Hotel for a while, next door to Quba weren't they?
