  the strange thing is i was in town this sunny morning, saw a charity shop open, was in folkestone this afternoon, saw 3 charity shops open all with potential customers inside.
  
  cannot always blame the business rates or the council.
  
  business rate is a flat charge that is unaltered by longer or more convenient opening.
  
  going back to my earlier post about the christmas light turn on, every year one sees children with false ears and lit up wand type objects and other things, all purchased from street traders in town for the day only.
  
  fair enough they have to earn their living, but none of the shops sell the things that children demand on the day.
  
  if they do, it is not made clear to people walking past.
