As reported yesterday it was Independents Day 2012, a day where local independent shops are celebrated. Personally, I skipped my regular visit to the local big supermarket chain where I often grab a bite to eat and deliberately visited at the little shops; Needing lunch I visited the Good Taste bakery & café and spent my cash on lunch and a few items for my family at home.

When I woke up this morning the first thing my American wife said to me was “Happy Independence Day”. On this day in 1776 the United States declared independence from Great Britain and the rest, as they say, is history.
I told my wife that it was also Independents Day 2012 here in the UK with a campaign being run to support local small shops. Then I struggled to think of who the independent retailers might be in our local “high street”.
