Hardly 'mundane' for those involved, but - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/ind...ts-about-your-day.11163/page-1037#post-381992I hear on the grapevine that Gabi on mill street might be closing...
There was probably a bit of it going on last week - I wasn't 100% sure what they were up to, but they had excavated some patches and didn't seem to have any tarmac immediately available.It was mentioned earlier in this thread about the amount of tarmac patching in the market Square... Well I think that work started today to rectify that. Large area cordoned off and said tarmac had been removed and repaired with stone/mortar ...
I live in Redruth, it is not in poverty. I work in St Ives. I moved down here 3 months ago as a complete outsider. No contacts, just a Hospitality CV on the job market. I’m doing well by my standards. There are also many very local people here earning good money, construction, mechanics etc. Life is what you make of it.Visit the actual Cornish people on the housing estates of Bodmin, Redruth, St. Austell and you'll see poverty. The education and health systems are terrible in Cornwall. Move away from the tourist bubble and all those who have nothing to do with real Cornwall, and the data soon adds up. My sister lived in Cornwall for 30 years and married a Cornishman. No job opportunities for the kids and they all moved away. There is no high skilled employers, the jobs, such as they are for locals who can't buy a business are basically casual zero hours contracts and minimum wage crap.
Apparently home bargains is set to close too: https://www.facebook.com/1714284605501397/posts/2142598192670034/
I might be late to this but what's Mad Hatters reason for closing.... It always looked packed when I walked past the place...Apparently home bargains is set to close too: https://www.facebook.com/1714284605501397/posts/2142598192670034/
I've seen it rumoured a few places - that would leave that entire run of shops apart from Bright House free for redevelopmentInteresting to see if that is true, given the ongoing decline of the precinct it would make sense to take one the remaining units at kingsmead.
Sorry, but that just made me laugh out loud.They had a pretty dire env health report recently, but I think it’s rates and rent. It’s reopening as a dessert shop in Burntwood
Do you have any evidence to back that up?

Nice place, no shortage of dickheads, expensive.
Just my opinion obviously .
Edit for cider: Bad Apple is a lovely drop but not at £4.50 a pop.
Morecambe & Wise were on Sunday Night at the London Palladium the week after Rudolf Nureyev had been on in some fairly dramatic tights.Bloke looking like Rudolph Nureyev was in the safto. Turns out he's from Cork and called Sillyun
