    TJ's took over our local Woolies store when they closed... Must be cursed...

    Was going to say same here but it's probably the same one as you're in the armpit of the Midlands!! (Hanley).

    We're going to be just left with Tesco :(

    I am not surprised. In some towns they have several. If you want thorn tons you will walk to it. It's not really an impulse purchase(except ice-cream!).

    I am always amazed they are viable.
