Well I suppose I have been gone a good few years now..Genuinely didn't realise the independents have taken such a hit in the UK...Small independent chains are not uncommon in Ireland, and whilst the big boys are moving in, it's usually just a branch or two in the cities, as there isn't that much in-between!
Apologise if I posted wrong advice re. UK position, but I have always had much more satisfaction covering an independent (often a personal friend) than a multiple.
The times they are a'changin' though!
