Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[littleme]

When is the Munch and the Slurp launching? It's well past 3 weeks now and the shop has joined current Stafford craze down that end of town of almost opening, but then whitewashing the windows and nothing else happens (visibly anyway).

‍ Do we really need another one of those? No loss to me ...

Tenpin seems to be having a refurb.

There were people working in there last night when I went past so it looks like it's still going to open at some stage.

Yes but there's a oddly familiar odour (must be creating new treats)

Probably wise given they’re about to have town centre competition. I wonder how long my will survive once that one opens.

Are you literally talking balls here?

Just as long as they don't put the pins on string as they do in other places....

They are overcladding the old corrugated asbestos roof.

Not at the Swan in Brewood.

Or in the old days at the Coach and Horses on the A51.

They had two 'portable' nine pin alleys that they could set up in the back room and we hired them for a works do.

One of the "management wives" was a fairly fearsome type and her performance really brought the house down.

Well, a good chunk of the ceiling, anyway.

Work seems to be starting on the 3 units that are to become Home Bargains at Queens

Ah yes, I used that one as well.

Getting a proper pint or few is more important to some of us than whether there's nine or ten pins.

I had specifically replied to a post regarding Tenpin having a refurb. I have no idea what that has to do with a pub

I responded to your post about bowling.
Only considering "Tenpin" in a large characterless building "strikes" me as being rather narrow minded.

I have though experienced one of those establishments you refer to and reported it to Wolverhampton Trading Standards for selling keg M&B Mild badged as "Traditional Draught".

Everything is to do with a pub, whether it is or not.

Apparently.
