in Shop but don't drop
I went past the old Woolies shop in Llandudno yesterday and it's being refitted as a Publishers Book Clearance shop. As an avid reader I'm reasonably happy with this although there was a rumour that Primark were going to take it over which would have been better. Apparently Primark are taking over the old Woolies in Chester.

The funny thing is that PBC had a shop in Llandudno which they closed a couple of years ago. The unit has never been re-let and still has all the PBC signage outside so they already had a ready made shop in the town.
The fridge is empty, the walls are damp, there's no hot water
And I look like a tramp and tramps like us

    That book shop in Llandudno is only going to be a temporary store for the summer.

    No sign of anyone taking ours over, but then there are quite a few empty stores in Camberley now - turning into a bit of a ghost town!

    Strange, the Atrium was meant to bring in new people, but I think it has just destroyed the daytime aspect of the town.

    Off the top of my head I can think of 6 units that are emply, none of which are exactly small. PLEASE will someone come and rescue our town, must be someone from Home Bargains or the suchlike reading this - we need you! We do NOT need more designer stores like the Esprit that has just opened!

    Update: I just went into Camberley yesterday and counted 10 empty units! and that does not count the new ones not yet taken in the Atrium! I think our town is officially dead - but I am looking out for any requests for sites on the shop websites I visit! Maybe they even pay for this information! (I have my doubts!)
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    No sign of anyone taking the one over near me in Salford would make a nice bigger Iceland as the one on the shopping center is small and always packed out.
