    Our old Woolies was turned into a 99p store too.:embarasse We were all hoping for something a little more upmarket, especially as a Co op department store that closed about a year ago granted a temporary lease to a Poundland just before Christmas. So now these 2 stores are competing with each other.

    Sadly, quite a few decent shops have disapeared from our high street over the past few months.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Sutton's Woolies is still sad and empty, the one in Banstead became Waitrose last month, after the Waitrose on the high street burnt down!

    There was talk about the Carlisle one becoming a Primark, although it probably won't. We really need one though, there aren't any decent shops selling cheap clothes here. I hope you are listening Primark bosses!

    Merthyr & Aberdare have been taken over by B & M

    Looks like Pontypridd is also being taken over by B & M in the near future
