One of my favourite shops is Rycrofts  in Sedbergh . The owner passed away last year but everything about him echoed a by gone era  . He used to ware a long brown overcoat as seen in the TV series Open All Hours , and he would write every sale down with a pencil in his record book while you had to wait patiently . The shop sells house hold goods . It sells everything I ever need . Electric cables , screws , pet food , battery's ect .Many brands are old traditional ones . Everything is decent quality  , not modern trash standards . Whether this shop makes economic sense to the owner I dont know . His widow now runs the store with reduced opening hours  and  how long this will continue I don't know  , but all I can say is every time I visit the store its a pleasure and very good value . I guess the modern age will catch up eventually ,  but until then Im smiling !
