The end of the 2 man show?

When getting off the train this morning I noticed that the little coffee place in the station has closed down. this was a sad moment for me because it was this little place that i had gone to on my fist day at work. i was a nice little place with the same 2 people there no matter what time of the day you called in. i have to admit that i haven't been to it in a while but i was still sad to see it go. in these tougher economic times i suppose that the first ones to go are going to be the 2 man shows of this world. but i think that it is important that we do as much as we can do ensure that the 2 man shows... the coffee places... the corner shops... what ever don't disappear. don't get me wrong i am not one of these militant anti globalisation nuts but i do think that the world would be very boring if all that we had was the big boys.
