One good thing abut WF is it's right next to a WHSmith (if you catch my drift!)

One time I was there, that little bloke from It Ain't Half Hot Mum was playing keyboard outside (upper floor) in an attempt to flog his cds. Don Estelle was his name, I think. He was an arrogant git, I can tell you.

Above all, treat all staff that approach you as helpful assistants, and not the enemy spying on you!!!.:D The latter is a sure fire way to get you noticed as a bonefide looney toonie.:D
I promise at this stage, they will not be looking at you in any other way than a lost shopper in need of assistance. Its only after about thirty trips and a grand or so they think of you differently;)

Does this post make any sense to anyone

please explain Jubarnes ?

It made sense to me. Jules is talking about Tesco, Weston Favell - it has a WHSmiths next door to it. Weston Favell Shopping Centre is actually owned by Tesco, if memory serves me correctly.

Remember whatever you do don't teach him the phrase R&R, not good to use when at CS, especially not when sung to the tune of jingle bells.:rotfl:

Weston Favell- never heard of it?, sounds like an awful place ! is it somewhere in the midlands ? and why are people talking about it?

Maverick I also have something for you- will PM you

Northampton. WF is a horrible place. Mereway Tesco (other side of Northampton) is a little better than WF, but only because WF is on the edge of a massive council estate called the Eastern District. Northampton decided it would be a good idea to build a massive council estate on the eastern side of the town to cope with the London over-spill. Some parts of it are really bad (Blackthorn), with drugs problems, etc. A friend of mine used to live on the Blackthorn estate. She ended up swapping her 3 bed house for a 2 bed housing association house in Clare Street (Northampton town centre) because Blackthorn was getting so bad.

Weston Favell Shopping Centre from the back, with what used to be Lings High School (Northampton Academy now) opposite it:
