Whether the Weather...?

Hello All,                  


Well what’s happened to the weather? It’s shocking -we don’t know whether to stock flip flops or wellies!

I tell you what we are selling in  large volumes  - BOOKS - and  just in time for the summer holidays. At the back of our  Eastbourne store we have a large selection of paperbacks  priced at £1.99. There is also a great selection of authors such as Linda La Plante, Maeve Binchy, Susan Lewis, Lesley Pearce . We also have a large selection of children’s  and cookery books all at very competitive prices.

Don’t forget we stock the biggest party range for miles, to suit all your summer party and bbg needs.  We have a great range of grass skirts  and Hawaiian products  too and we’re are  licensed to sell fireworks all year round.

 Ozzie should be smiling at last, now he has stopped giving away free teas and coffees. To look at his face anybody would think we had asked him to give £10 notes away with each free drink. Poor chap!  If you visit our store I bet you can’t make him smile.

Last week we sponsored a Human Table Football Fest with Beachy Head Rotary Club, which was held on the seafront’s Western Lawns. The wind was so strong it blew one tent away and broke the pole on the main marquee. The only good thing  was my wife Marie was going to do face painting. She practised on past president Ray Groves.- what an improvement!

Before I go I must thank all you lovely people who have emailed me. It is lovely to receive your comments and support.

On a sadder note we brought some trees to plant on the boundary which looked very nice.  On Sunday night some yobs broke them. I can only assume they got pleasure out of it. (bring back the stock’s, that’s what I say!)  I do wonder what’s happening to the world sometimes …….

Regards

Bob

Getting Crafty!

Hi  it’s me again.

We have had our staff out on the streets of Brighton giving out brochures and promoting ESK. I sent my wife Marie along to keep the staff out of the pub and out of the bookies!  They like a bit of Bet Fred! Especially our own Handy Chair from Hollington.  She can also run fast which is good because they got moved on a few times! They got a very good response from the people who had heard of us and that knew about ESK.

The lads at the car wash have been very busy and have done really well with the discount coupons and Ozzie’s chin is even longer because of all the free teas and coffee’s. We can no longer call him the “Grinning Turk” but he is still selling his lovely cakes and freshly cooked meals.

Let’s talk about Craft. We are putting a new Artist section in consisting of paint brushes,oils, water colours, acrylics and canvasses. You let us know what you require. Just email info@esk.co.uk 

Continuing with Craft we have been full up on our Thursday club night but we still have spaces on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10.30 – 12.30. Please book , you will be made very welcome. Our next demonstration day is Saturday the 23^rd of July. Our demonstrators are Gaynor White, Ann Hyde and Mandy Russell. There are lots of new product and remember it’s absolutely Free of Charge. 10.00 -3.30. 

Please come along and bring your friends.

On a sadder note it is very sad to see the amount of shoplifting going on. The trouble is it’s what pushes the prices up, we all pay more, we catch them red handed and we ALWAYS call the police and have them arrested. The crown prosecution drop the case …..they wouldn't  if it was their own money. However it does not stop us giving them a red face. 

Serves em right!
