“BRITAIN’S Rudest Shop” is set to shut after dishing out insults to customers for 15 years.

The staff at Palfrey and Kemp Fords in Lymington have even frogmarched customers to the exit after rubbing up owners Terry Palfrey and Geoff Kemp the wrong way.

But the tills of the historic High Street store will ring for the last time next month bringing to an end more than 170 years of trading at the site which is to be transformed into a budget pub.

Now loyal customers are being offered the chance to receive one final volley of verbal abuse before the business closes for good.

Terry, 63, said: “I have chucked people out of the shop on several occasions, sometimes the other customers laugh because they enjoy it. Unfortunately there are a lot of people these days who don’t have any manners.”
