A few thanks....

For now we'll dedicate this section to a few people who have helped us get where we are. They have offered time, advice and lots of effort - and for this we thank them.

Mikes Dad (and Mum for sitting home alone for weeks), Mrs B for a sterling job with all the figures, Mike A, Tom P, John P and all the other Mrs Bears (or Mrs Bears to be) for putting up with the long hours needed to get this far. 

Internet shopping...

We pride ourselves on being traditional old bricks and mortar business where you get great products, customer service and a bit of banter to boot. Sure, in this day and age we can't ignore internet sales and nor do we want to.  It's a great way to attract customers who may not have been to the shop yet or who may have been in and want to continue buying from us when they get home.

Our internet offers will build like the shop did, steadily and with a lot of careful thought. So we'll let you know once it's open and if you can let us know what you think, it's a deal!
