It's kind of odd as I was talking about this kind of thing with my parents earlier in week. We had got onto subject of what things were like in 60s etc and ice cream/desert shops were commonplace in such as largs, saltcoats etc. Think it came into line with them going tenpin bowling then (when you had to count own score) and how all these things go in cycles.
Although being in west Cumbria, we haven't caught up with the tanning salons yet........................not saying they are slow here but๐
