Dear Mr @ Graeme McDiarmid. My husband is unfortunately unable to open the shop today. He is interested in all the books, and could you please leave them at the whisky shop next door? I am sorry, I can't access the messenger.
Our sincere apologies

Jacket update: Customer we thought had taken it by mistake didn't, so it's been lifted with intent. Sad and disturbing😟😡

Yesterday afternoon, a customer walked off with a member of staff's jacket which was lying next the counter. We don't believe there was any intent, just a simple mistake. The jacket contained reading glasses which would be very costly to replace. If you have the jacket and see this, please return it to the shop asp - no harm, no foul. Thanks
