Talking of tackle shops in another thread made me think of a shop I visited near Preston a few weeks ago. It was one of the strangest places I have ever been in!
We had passed this shop a few times and I noticed that engraved right across the window were the words ''the north Wests best tackle shop'' I thought I would pay a visit, What I saw on entering the shop will stay with me for a very long time. The shop was so small that if you walked in two abreast you would have got wedged between the wall and counter! The shelves where nearly empty except for a few bags of dusty groundbait and the counter top cabinets contained just a few waggler and stick floats and there were just 4 rods hung on the ceiling when I tried to get the owners attention he just looked at me and carried on talking to this guy, so I turned and left.
what still goes through my mind is those words on the window....very odd!
