I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.
Shop independent this Christmas.

www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon.

What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

What I’m doing on Saturday…

Really looking forward to this.

DJing at 4pm, then being interviewed by @stoneclub.bsky.social at 6pm.

Do pop along if you happen to be anywhere near Derby. So many great talks, stalls, musicians and films…

49 years old today… Me and my mate Count Brodski bought it and, on playing the B side, declared, almost simultaneously, “he’s singing out of tune”. Loved the Pistols. For me, they were the new Alice Cooper Group… #AnarchyInTheUK

Weird the things that turn up online. A recording of Roddy Frame playing 'The Wrong Road' at the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh, a few days after Grant McLennan's death. I was there. It struck me then and now as the perfect song choice. One of the saddest songs ever, I think.

Roddy Frame's live rendition of ' The Wrong Road' by The Go-Betweens from The Queens Hall in Edinburgh on 12 May 2006. Less than a week previously, the Australian band's Grant McLennan had died sudden
