     “Who are these-people?”I asked．    
     “Satisfied customers，”answered young Mr. Hopkins．“We have a very wide choice of items for sale．Whenever I serve a new customer, I always take their picture．”Mr. Hopkins pointed to an ancient camera standing next to one wall．“Now, how can I serve you?”he added．

Found nothing．The little shop was no longer there．In its place was an empty space being used as a car park．I checked the area again。There was the music shop，and there was the department store．In between should have been Hopkins and Son, but it wasn’t there．

   “Oh yes，”said the policeman．“There was a shop here once called Hopkins and Son．It sold all
sorts of things，but it was knocked down over 30 years ago．”
