Open all Hours.

This hardware shop reminds me of the TV programme with Ronnie Barker & David Jason popular in the seventies & eighties.
Fancy having to put this lot away every night!

i would not want to be the one putting all this stuff away every night :). nice capture. lov ehte colors in the picture. never realized that hardware store could be colorful.

[Nancy]

That is a lot of colorful stock! Poor David Jason was always put upon by Ronnie Barker in that show! Great shot.

[Taephy]

This is what the shops here do...put their wares on the pavement and I have the same thought, a lot to carry in and out everyday!

[MonicaE]

Good way to expand the shop's selling space!

[Cathy Donohoue]

What a wildly colorful shot and place. Now, I would shop their just for their efforts.

[Fanny Brogden]

Ha ha love it, absolutely right, was it open all hours? Such a great partnership those two....this is spot on, so similar, wonderful wonderful, love it!!

[Jennifer Jones]

I'd like the big red garden trug, please - oh, and the red brush!

[Jane Pittenger]

wow, do those colors ever pop!

[karenann]

Maybe that's why it's called DIY ...lol. Seriously, that is alot of work to tote it in and out everyday. A great capture, Pat. Very cheery and colorful. AND inviting to the customer, I think. We have a few like that here too. Maybe it does sell more goods ... who knows.

[Judith Greenwood]

They are a bit mad with all that lot! I wonder if it has a hand-eating till! I often pass a green Morris Traveller with a 'support the midwives' sticker and think of Nurse Gladys Emmanuel!

[Gillian]

That's crazy!!! How much do they lose through "shoplifting"?! Great fun shot.

[seasnappi]

colourful !

[Jean Tookey]

What lovely bright colours. We have a shop near us like this one. You can buy everything you want and if they haven't got it they will get it by noon tomorrow.

[Graham Harcombe]

Looks like a great sight. I'm amazed that he doesn't get 'done' for obstructing the pavement.

[Pat Knowles]

@ellida A big wide pavement in front of this display Graham. This shop is in Kirkham, don't know if you know it?

[Lance]

"Fancy having to put this lot away every night! "

Exactly my first thought! Well 2nd thought, right after 'ooooh look at the colours' :)

[Maggiemae]

Great spotting! So much to look at!

[Barbara Paquette]

Love the colors! I could use a new bucket, a metal garbage can and some new wellies.

[Graham Harcombe]

@happypat I'm sure I remember Kirkham - passing through from Preston to Blackpool - before someone invented the M55!

[Pat Knowles]

@ellida You got it !!

[Sue Wilde]

Great colours and somehow a happy looking shop

[Rick Schies]

WOw, they need a full time clerk to manage the packing away as you said.

[Michael Elliott]

Nice street capture. Wow that's a lot of stuff out there. Colorful too.

[KWind]

Looks like a neat place. I was thinking about the setting up and taking down factor too!

[David]

Wow. Haha 1st thing I thought was "Open all hours". Then I read your title.
Nice.

[James Verdi]

Our local hardware store does a similar thing, though not to this extent. Very nice capture.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Loved it too!!! nice bright and colourful shot!

[Phil Howcroft]

Where's G G G-Granville Pat !!!

[Linda]

Excellent find and capture! I love all the bright colors.

[Louise]

I remember that programme with great affection. Great colours in this collection of items!

[Peggy Sirk]

Looks like Grundy's has just about anything you'd need to take care of the toughest of jobs inside or out! :) Fun, colorful shot!

[Pat Knowles]

Thought it was rather bitter sweet as poor old Ronnie was remembered in the paper today re son returning!

[eva]

Looks just like Open All Hours. Great shot! Great show!
