Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[Thehooperman]

Work going on in the old Butter Knife café this afternoon. Hopefully whoever is taking it on isn't going to keep it as a café...

There's some hand painting on the window saying it's a 4D photography shop. I think it said something like "life through the lens".

So £14m is being allocated to regenerate. I hope it's not all about chain stores. https://www.theguardian.com/busines...land-recovery-fund?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

It will be spent on turning buildings into flats and all of the money will go to development firms who will then get to keep ownership of the properties and sell them on, I suspect.

Wow, it must have taken some doing to come up with something likely to be even less successful than a café in that location!

As someone who deals a lot in various immersive and bleeding edge tech: “pardon?”

Drove past a few minutes ago on a 'mercy' mission and it's actually a shop that is going to specialise in 4D baby scans. Whatever the hell they are.

There are people out there that will scan your proto-kid and produce a life-size 3D model for you to amaze your friends with - if you have any left.

You could have a full set on the wall, in stages, like plaster ducks.

As the fourth dimension is time you obviously get to see what it looks like when it's 37.

Ah, kid stuff, that explains why I have no knowledge of it.

Where I work 4D means they’ll spray you with jets of water and air, and rumble your seat

Perhaps it's a new form of contraception where to you get to see what the kid looks like in advance and if you don't like what you see it puts you off.

Bless you.

I'm convinced that there's only one bit of 'footage' for 4D baby scans - on the basis they all look the same, and well, like babies - but it's a fast way to make money as a 'scan' is £50 - £70 quid.

(I can't prove this at all, they might be wonderful mementos but that seemed like a waste of money in my books)

They do a male version too

Or Tetleys for short

Nothing screams 4D scan more than an ex cafe with a deep embedded smell of saturated fat!!

 

[littleme]

I was invited to eldest son & his then wife's 4d scan, it was a long awaited for baby after a long time trying, it was very interesting and meant the world to us all.

Shame on you all for making something that's not easy for everyone seem so trivial.

Our town centre needs a lot more leisure facilities to diversify it and provide more reasons for visiting.

Stafford is very poorly served compared to other nearby centres, such as Telford and Tamworth.

It's OK on Tuesdays as long as you haven't mixed fabrics and your neighbour's ox remains uncoveted

Some welcome news for the town.

Why take more fields, why not reuse the warehouse Argos are vacating?

But yeah, let's all be happy about 800 minimum wage, unskilled part time posts filled by Eastern Europeans and the loss more of more green fields and another increase in juggernauts using the town as a cut through.
