Geoff Wood was most annoyed when he was told that his second-hand book shop would have to be demolished to make way for the new Ring Road. He had been there for many years. He was quite a character, always prepared to haggle or bargain about the price of a book, but you could pick up a good bargain if you had a sharp eye.
