Shoppers desert High Street after record rain storms

Pete Terry, managing director of Disco Bowl, which owns a chain of bowling alleys across the UK, including in Nottingham and Worcester, said: “July was an excellent month for us. This time last year we were struggling with 40-degree heat, which meant no one wanted to go bowling, but this year that’s all changed and we’ve had a much better July than I can remember. Rain is good for business.”
