QUOTE (Good Boy Racer @ Jul 13 2010, 01:22 PM) Town Centre people!!! Is that "Tut, tut, you people who want shops in the town centre!!" or "People, we need shops to be in the town centre." (I shall probably be told off by Iommi for not being sure which way to read that )

QUOTE (Rosewinelover @ Jul 13 2010, 01:23 PM) Also, I don't know where my mum got her info from but she told me M + S were taking over that sport shop..... Unless they are going somewhere else in the retail park? A Tesco worker told me that M & S were going to the Retail Park, but into Borders old place.

QUOTE (HeatherW @ Jul 13 2010, 05:51 PM) Excellent News. I don't want a Primark in Newbury.... I don't like their clothes. But I am pleased Matalan's is coming. There is plenty of room for both.

QUOTE (Iommi @ Jul 13 2010, 10:07 PM) Good point, one man's cheap is another's slave-like wage. To be honest; no. That is down to the government to deal with. Beyond that the peasants want their cheap goods. If you confront them with the appalling atrocities that helped get such cheap goods they'll say "Oh, my god!... that is terrible... those poor darling..." and then being thinking "I wonder what cheap bargains I can get from that shop." That is life Jim, but not as the moralist know it.
