My local business of the week award goes to Bing Shropshire, who has been selling his jugs of tea in the Municipal Gardens for 45 years. 'The odd thing is,' confessed Bing, 64, 'is that I don't even like tea. I hate it. And I hate people.'
We wish him many more years of success.

Good morning Jason @Wickyma & its my pleasure. These may not be jazz musicians but maybe "Horns & Trombones" by John Cooper from 1932 might have been more up your grandfather's "street". #JohnCooper #ELG
