There's a difference between being dotted around the shop floor and the artful displays I've seen in windows
Actually, now I've stopped to think about it, most of those did eventually get replaced by stock. But there was one particular place in London that had that empty window (with crates) for ages and I was amazed when it eventually did turn into a shop. But yeah, I guess they could've been paying reduced rates all that time. Seems a bit odd given that have had to pay a lease and stuff.
The reason I've seen so many of these is that I used to have a very long bus journey to work.
I must confess, I didn't get through the whole article - I googled what the issue was generally.
I keep meaning to read up on money laundering - for those who haven't read it, I'm not making a connection between snail farms and money laundering, but I do tend to link it up to this sort of scheme.
But yeah, the volume of crazy that's going on around here - the scale of corruption, no matter how small scale it may seem, I actually don't know how the UK is going to recover from all this? I suspect it isn't.
