Remember the shop there used to be called Arthurs?

Well Arthur still owns the place and I would not be surprised to see another motorcycle shop there sometime soon.

Meanwhile I do not know where I can purchase Rock Oil PP2 Two Stroke Oil for my CRM any longer.

Yeah the reason why he still owns the land is because he paid so much for it whites would only take over the property ! He also has to work there for the next few years to be paid his money , to be fair he worked all his life building a bidiness and then practically gives it away from over spending on the new location !

*** made redundant too.. another victim of this countries economic collapse caused by ......... ( fill in your own reasons!)
