..... went into Town last night between 6 and 8pm ...... thought it would be empty.
Not on your nelly!! Car Parks FULL, shops jammed to the rafters with people grabbing anything that may be left, the walkways were just a people soup .... I gave up in the end - it's madness.
And the amount of money being spent was mindboggling ..... this is the South, of course. And I do realise the Northern towns are full of boarded up shops rather than full of shoppers.
But, hereabouts, it's like the good times had never briefly disappeared ...... it's full steam ahead!!
Don't worry, Northerners, the affluence will filter down to you soon enough.

Festival Place, Basingstoke.
But, it was the same in Bournemouth and Poole last week.
