I used to do loads of retail work,
Don't do so much these days though, the prices have been driven down so much that they're almost impossible to make any money on them.
2 yrs ago I did a shop in Nottingham city centre that was 18quid external weekly, fair play it was a decent sized shop but the price that I've been offered it back for its unbelievable. Some poor soul is now cleaning it for 8quid a month. Even if you lived next door to the shop you would struggle to make that pay.
With retail stores now ranging from 4quid to very rarely over a tenner, I think that its now a mugs game, but there you go that's me, that might not apply to Matt Bateman or Dave Morris you see.
