Not strictly grammatically/linguistically incongruous but nonetheless demonstrably untrue, so hyperbolic at best...

I've not been down, but been told it has by a member of staff. I'll have to have a wander

I didn't see if the doors were open, but there were certainly dorritos outside!

Good. Half the stuff they sold in there was past its sell by date. I have reported them to trading standards several times.

Sorry, my mistake, it's the Lichfield Yum Yums. Closed Christmas Eve and never re-opened. No notice given to staff or landlord.
