Phooey to all those who fear April 1. That was the lucky day in 2000 when Veronica Finney and her partner, Paul Spink, first opened Turn Back Time in Heworth Road, York.
Ever since, the little shop displaying second hand furniture and the removal business they run at the same time has boomed.
Now they're entering Turn Back Time in the Small Business of the Year category of the 2004 Evening Press Business Awards.
Their entry comes at a time when their business has grown so big that they plan to move to larger premises in the nearby parade of shops in Fourth Avenue on October 1.
Veronica said: ""Although our shop is only small, everyone is amazed at how well set out is the furniture and the variety we have on offer. We sell both modern and old, quality furniture so there is something for everyone."
Most of their removals and clearances are local, but last year they did move a family from the Orkney Islands.
