Totnes - "independent and different"

[Herr Tubthumper]

Has anyone ordered cake and the finest wines known to humanity in Penrith?

Not, but I installed a f***ing jukebox.

Why is that good? Do the protesters not realise that people won't be forced to shop there.

You need to read the rest of the thread. Or to summarise.

Totnes is a tourist town. If tourists see a brand they recognise they will default there. You can't have over 40 coffee shops with a population of 7000 without tourists. It really is that simple.
