I was sat inside a big, yellow 2c bus only recently when we stopped at road works (predictable) and as I looked out of the window to my right I saw two shops right next to each other. One was called “Just Blinds” and the other “Not Just Cards”. Now, I couldn’t help but suspect that there was a little bit of rivalry going on despite the fact that the two shops sell entirely different merchandise. Maybe people in the area are having to choose between blinds and cards to keep the competition going. Or maybe the shop owners just come together at the end of each month and compare sales or their chosen stock. Either way, I sensed tension and made a note never to attempt to shop in that area if a blind collector friend’s birthday approached.
