Assault course

Did not buy anything as the shop in Buckfastleigh was overfull with furniture and stuff.... It was dangerous to walk around - trip hazards and must be a fire risk with all the clutter... I am elderly and have mobility issues and did not stay long. It was not this bad with the old manager - now its like an assault course. Can someone please get it cleaned up before someone is badly hurt - thank you
