Ronnie Barker was a local round here... he lived two villages away, in a tiny village where David Cameron lives now. Anyway. There's not a whole lot of difference. A "general stores" is more an old-fashioned thing, open 9-5, early closing Wednesday, and so on. A "convenience store" is probably more like a Londis or Spar; doesn't sell the ironmongery, probably open later and sells more cheap booze. The "general stores" is dying out, sadly. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
