Tommy’s village store · with May

Tommy

Tommy and his wife May have run the village store by the town square for 50 years. He is a familiar, steady presence and knows generations of local families. Don’t mix him up with Thomas the greengrocer, whose friends call him Tommy too.

“We’ve seen plenty change. It’s always worth checking what works now.”

What he’s known for

Remembering when a grown-up neighbour used to visit as a child, and keeping the story kind, never embarrassing.

His tip for home

Recycling rules change. Check your council’s rules now, even if you think you know them.
