I was delighted to read your article in the Evening Press relating to our corner shops (April 22). Never to be forgotten I hope.

For the elderly and disabled, we are fortunate in having the fruit and vegetable shop whose staff are always willing to carry my heavy bags, free of delivery charge, which is a great help to me.

Also thanks to our friendly butchers, who will deliver an order, "Just give us a phone call" they say.

Crossing the road we can get fresh fish, and call in at the newsagents and post office who are helpful with any problems.

Not forgetting the hardware store which has an abundance of everything. What more could we ask for? No transport costs either.
