The Old Crown Again!
Further to my post about the Co-operative Pub in Cumbria, it turns out that the villagers of Newmarket, where the pub and brewery is located, are progressing with plans to buy the village shop and post office. The current shop owners are looking to retire, and the villagers want to be in a position to safeguard the future of this vital village amenity.And after completing a successful Co-op takeover of a pub and a brewery, they must have useful experiences to ensure that it will work. You heard it here first. The Co-operative Commonwealth starts in Cumbria!

Pub, post office, village shop. So the co-operative commonwealth will look like the set of Emmerdale? I hope the Dingles aren't on an area committee.
Or alternatively, the addition of a Co-operatively-run Grey Gables would look rather like Ambridge.
If Mrs. Snell is on the committee, then I get out straight away.
