Some years ago, we decided that we would start closing on Bank Holidays here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear, the reason behind that decision was that we were never really that busy on the previous occasions when we had opened and the chance of having a day off together with our family is always welcomed - so this year saw no exception and we closed for the August Bank Holiday.
This morning when the alarm went off, I would quite cheerfully turned over and fallen asleep again but thankfully I didn’t.
As I arrived for work at 8:55am there was already someone waiting on the doorstep, then we had a flood of Wedding Hire Returns from the busy weekend previously as well as the post etc.
Just when it started to quieten down again, Mick said ‘we could do with some deliveries’, the bell went and in walked 2 delivery drivers with 60+ pairs of trousers & 24 Sports Jackets for the Autumn Winter 2008.
There’s never a dull moment on a shop floor!
