A new feature was added to the high street today and the users were oblivious!
A couple of fellas but a small boarding ramp outside the old M&S an used a run up from about 10 yards up Stafford St, across the main street and crashed up the ramp and into the boarding! Like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Doesn't sound too bad in print but the sight and sound brought people out of shops from as far as the old Motorworld!

There must be an easier way to knock the eyesore down.

Survivor’s log… Day… I don’t know any more:

The promised Cinnabon is still not open, it’s still hiring, still “opening soon”

It is dire times

We spent an hour here this afternoon browsing. Really enjoyed it, shop is much bigger than I was expecting, its expanded massively since its bargain booze days. Lots of lovely things. Ended up buying some vinyl! Hope people patronise it and it stays..
I remember when it was a car parts place. :)

I remember when it was a car parts place. :)
Motor Components (Uttoxeter) - also sold bikes - and often had a hand-painted sign in the window -

"All Giants Reduced",

I often wondered if anybody ever went in to enquire about their rather specialist hormone control procedures.

As opposed to a carp arts place (or plaice).

I saw people doing things in what had been White Rose Bridal on Wolverhampton Rd - its a very pretty building so I hope its something that does it justice.
