Dont really matter which way you look at it, Stafford town is a dive, like i said in my earlier post, i have a job to even try and spend up there.
If you count how many shops you actually "need" to go, you wouldnt need more than one hand!
Dallans has closed down too now!
I mean what sort of town is it where, you cannot rent a dvd!, you cannot buy furniture (unless you wait 6 weeks from homebase/argos or want "pine" and you cant even buy a school blouse above a 7yr old!! or you go for a browse in the market, only to find, what your looking for isnt on the 6 stalls thats left in there! Its shocking!
Everything in town is mobile phone or food!! and yeah i can understand some people that say "town is lovely, if you dont like it shop elewhere!", I do - but if more people start thinking the same, Stafford will become a ghost town! and those little xmas jobs for your kids when they get older, wont be there!
