The one that caught my eye was Smokers D'Lite, a new type of business, selling electronic cigarettes. The "pound bakery" is also a sign of the recessionary times, applying the principles of the "pound shop" to grocery sales. Thomsons travel agent still caters for those able to afford a foreign holiday.
