For 1 night only…. unless they do more….at Up The Road - Comedians Cocktail Lounge.

It’s a long sensible one folks.
But please stick with it.

Grab a coffee or a bite to eat in your local cafe….Use your local hardware shop….and PAY CASH where you can!!!

Every fiver in the till is £5 going to the small business to keep going.
Cards cost every business money.
Insurance,fraud protection, percentages taken by the banks for the privilege….it all adds up.

Too many small businesses are disappearing from our local communities.

The multi million/billion pound branded companies don’t need your money, the small businesses do.
Take a walk & buy your shopping in more than one shop instead of a supermarket.
Find a hardware store that actually knows what you need instead of the “help” you often get in the major stores.
Meet up in a cafe instead of a globally based coffee shop, maybe even a freshly cooked breakfast or lunch while you’re there instead of a cardboard burger.
Have a drink in a local bar for a little intimacy & service with a smile instead of being pushed along as one of the masses….the toilets will be a lot closer too.
Try dinner in your local restaurants & take a break from the extortionately priced wafer thin pizzas or boil in the bag dinners.

USE LOCAL.

Don’t ignore the big boys….People need to work & they employ folks of every age…..less & less as technology takes over, but still.

All I’m asking is that you share the wealth.

If you don’t use us you’ll lose us.

Thank you for reading.
