Local shop workers had mixed views, with some complaining about having to think more, whilst others were delighted about having an excuse to go home early.

A quick thinking spokesman for the town council said, “Recreating the past could be a great way to give St Neots a historical edge and bring in tourists.” It is thought the council will also use 19-th century pricing in order to show savings on their budget.
