Subject: [Elmfield Road] JD retiring
This morning, I popped into Londis (as you do) and JD (the owner) said that as
of today he's retiring. He and his wife Lata (who he says is the backbone of
the business) have made it 'our corner shop' for over 30 years and both are
well known and loved within our community. Sadly, the end of an era. However,
the new owners are also a couple and no doubt you'll see them when you next go
to Londis.
JD said he and his family have had a wonderful time - having started the
business from scratch, the ups and the downs, all types of customers, being
part of the wider community, lots of laughs, appreciation and a job well done.
They plan to continue living life as fully as possible during retirement - just
another adventure!
In fact, if you want to find out what he's up to or just want to send a
message, he's on facebook at:
JD-Londis Coppermill Lane
Also, I've bought him a card (big enough for all your autographs). If you want
to sign it, please pop along to the Street Party meeting next Tuesday from
7.30pm in the Coppermill Pub.
Have a fab weekend & enjoy the weather! Happy Mother's Day!
Charmaine
