Thanks for getting my business afloat again

IT was just last year when the canal record boat shop, Rubber Ducky Records, became filled with water. Around 1,000 vinyl records were destroyed as the 28ft boat slowly sank on the Rochdale Canal.

But, the store reopened in the first week of this year, and Myles Greenwood, 27, owner of the Rubber Ducky, spoke to the M.E.N about its reopening.

“It feels absolutely incredible, the first week back people kept asking me how I felt but I was just so busy.

“After the last customer left on the first week on Saturday, I sat in my chair near the fire and just did a 10-minute happy cry. I was crying and smiling at the same time,” he said.
