Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

The new brownies place is currently closed due to COVID

The 'rents' started clearing stuff out a few years ago after my dad had cancer.... I'm still left with an whole attic (nearly 2 story's high) full of stuff to deal with. I understand its hard to let stuff go, but to be honest what am I going to do with 6ft victorian portraits of far removed family members that I know nothing of.... Clothing going back to the 40's....those horrid China plates, everyone had on the walls..... And soooooooo much tat!

Everything of value is hidden in really strange places (I know, I've been asked to move it about when they've been away for a while) but these places are soooooo obscure that whoever buys their house will be very well off but never know.

Got any 4 legged wooden stools?
Or very old wooden step ladders?
Asking for woody person

Ian? In Asda? He's an absolute star! I would poach him if I could.

Ian Blair? He is a relative by marriage. A lovely chap, as is the whole family.

My kids are dreading clearing out this place when I eventually leave this mortal coil. They know what I have in my bedside table and wardrobe. The lads have told the Daughter in Law she's volunteered.

Is that lava lamp still buzzing?

As someone who doesn’t know staff at Asda by name… help me out here? There’s one member of staff that always stood out to me as they regularly recognise me from visiting in the evening when it’s quiet. Dunno if it’s the same person mind you.

I know a few moved to the ASDA from 16MU RAF Stafford when it was transferred to the Army but don't know if they're still there.

Iain is quite tall, cuddly in shape, but not chunky. Quite a high-ish voice, blonde and wears glasses. He is ASDAs diamond. Always lovely and friendly. I think he's been there since the place opened.

I think that describes him perfectly. I think in that self checkout area there are a few that are just perfect at customer service. The Asian guy and the bald man spring to mind. It's amazing how good customer service influences where I shop.

Oh! Yeah I think I know who you’re talking about, they’re the one that recognises me on the regular

I wish Sainsburys would poach him, he's just adorable.

Apart from the fact it's on my doorstep, I find the majority of staff in Sainsburys lovely and helpful.
Mentioning no names, but I did sort of nominate one for the excellent service doodah. I believe she received a candle that smelt of cat wee.

Now open.

£8 for a box of 4.... Pretty bloody good...

When you say majority do you mean apart from one particular special one by any chance?

Well yeah, She/He/It has really helped over the last few weeks. It's nice to have someone you can talk to.

Brave, and I wish them luck as in this age of streaming unsure if people want physical media. That said if they get their offering right, it might be successful. My daughter is heavily into anime, metal boxes etc, if they go down that route there is a market. If however they go for the used copy of Mrs Brown's Boys series 3, not so much.

Is it 1998 again? Anyone know what time Blockbuster opens on a Bank Holiday?
