Oh yes, i do indeed. We had one where you could buy any thing from fire wood to paraffin, screws, hammers, curtain wire, ash trays, ornaments, even bags of cement. It always had that paraffiny type smell, and the owner knew everybody, even down to the grand parents.


Its now a takeaway sadly, and we have to go to B @ Q. Bring back the good old days. xxDo you remember hardware shops? when you could buy a screwdriver, nails hoes seeds garden implements and gaso?
Fork 'Andles too. We had a nice one with a dusty old man in a brown coat, like in Open all Hours. It was all little wooden boxes.
Still got one where I live. You can buy screws, nuts and bolts singly.

Yes, now we have places like Home Depot and Lowes!! The last mom %26amp; pop shop (small hardware store) just closed after 30 years being in a small town.

Yes once I asked for Fork handles and the shop keeper gave me Four Candles
