End of an era as owners weigh out a bag of jelly babies for the last time...
Just a quick note to say that after clocking up an impressive 22 years behind the counter, Sue and Tony at Fosters News on Bow Street are handing the business over to a new family.
A flier announcing the news went out in the latest edition of the Western Gazette in which the couple, pictured above after selling their 1000th kilo of jelly babies last summer, reveal that Rimpal and Jignesh Patel are taking over from September 1st.
Happy Retirement Sue and Tony, now you can start partying after getting up at stupid o'clock for two decades to sort the papers - and good luck Rimpal and Jignesh...we're a strange lot round 'ere mind. Can we recommend the book 'How to understand a farmer in 10 easy steps' ? Langport Library probably has a copy - it's got a very good clock built into its roof too...
