    They have been bought out by the Co-op.

    A few of the stores are closing or being sold off to Morrisons etc I think?

    Ahh! The penny's dropped.

    THAT's why they had Co-op garlic bread on the shelves the other day.

    Neither of the ones near me were closing today, they were carrying on as usual. I looked on the website and they're all being closed in a phased way over two years.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
