Bestsellers
"The bestseller? Well, if, come around November time, Christmas cards just now"
The bestseller? Well, if, come around November time, Christmas cards just now. We have quite good sales for the Christmas cards because somebody takes a photo down the bank to the lifeboat or something like that, and one of the local firms, can’t recall their name just now, but they publish the card, some, another firm supplies the card for it and the envelopes, and we make quite a bit of money off that.
But there’s lots of things- children come in when they come down onto the beach and they buy things like little rubbers with lights on the end and pencil cases and little things to play in the bath with, diaries, stuff like that. There’s quite an array of stuff in the shop.
