What a bunch of t*ats!
Angry - betting shops 'sell' bets, so they are retailers.
Info - I was responding to the original post.
'Retail shops' is a nonsensical thing to write, rather like saying 'canine dog'. Retail unit, OK. Or shop, OK. Not both.
So as I said, what other sort of shop is there?
(I suppose some smart-a*se is now going to say 'closed shop' or something equally inane...)

Or who to contact if you want to rent this 'retail shop'.
Apologies for this petty nit-picking Nicola, you're probably a lovely person who doesn't deserve it.
On the other hand though, you might be a miserable sh!t who does.

Workshop to let, we'd all understand. No-one is their right mind would use just 'shop' in that context. Shop is part of everyday language, hence my original point. Retail shop is a nonsensical thing to write or say, not that it stops some people obviously...

'English teacher' - are you referring to your country of origin or to the subject you teach? I think we should be told before we all die of ambiguity.
