Dont live in Bridgend anymore so dont visit there, but i think its always expanding, and TBH, a small place like Bridgend needs somewhere like "The pines" (to us locals) as an attraction!

Trouble is it attracts all the locals out of town, and coaches just go to the Pines, not the town centre. Now all we have is mobile phone shops and charity shops...even McDonalds shut down..not that that's a bad thing. Not to mention the Pines is full of chav kids on most occasions, I warn anyone off going there on Orange Wednesday...

I might pop for a look in GAP though

macarthur glen in swindon is larger and cheaper and has more variety of stores.
found out as i was working up there and bought goods up there i coudn't get in bridgend and good that were cheaper than bridgend.
if you want a good day out go there not bridgend its even worth paying the bridge toll.

About a year ago, I visited the one there. THe shops were a lot cheaper, and there were more of them. I suppose it's because they are closer to lots of big cities there.....
