I did hear that the co-op building has been sold, apparently to the furniture people in there now, and they are going to refurb shortly.

On a spying mission for someone else, I asked if they(Turners?) were staying only last week, they mentioned nothing about owning the building - only that they hoped that they could stay when the owners had finished the 'Current' refurbishment.......

Noticed an increasing number of empty units around the town, surely there's now an opportunity for the likes of Stantons, Taylors, Wakefields, Macfisheries, Curtess, Dolcis, Hiltons, Haydens, Jenks, Jeff's, Golden Egg, Victor Value, Azaraways, Bagnalls, Times Furnishings, Briggs and all the other high street names that we have seen shut up shop (no pun intended) to buck the trend and say

" Hey guys, we are open for business".......

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp, Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp,.......

Never known a High Street where there are no Grocery Shops. Incredulous in reality.

No grocery shop on leek? Buxton or hanley high streets either, dying breed thanks to supermarkets.

people don't want to carry food shops unless they live in the locality, hence why they are a dying bread

But the definition of grocers and they sell is quite broaf and the excellent thatched shop in Mill Street is a close definition indeed.

no doubt Camsnan you don't support them either.

Back in the '80s, we tried to find a phone number for Woolworths, with only a Yellow Pages to hand - eventually giving up and getting a number from Directory Enquiries, which was still free then, before it was 'improved'.

We rang Woolies and sorted the business, ending by asking the lad on the phone if he knew what they were under in Yellow Pages, as we had tried everything we could think of. "Grocers", he said, "mad, innit?"

Good point Gareth, had forgotten about the Thatched Shop, had parked them under Fruit and Veg. Will definitely go in there when I am next in town, cheers.
