Stafford shops opening - Turning into a boom town?

[Mudgie]

If it gives him the oxygen of publicity, it is precisely what the prize bellend Corbyn needs to be involved in.

Yes, even if he's no more likely to get them accepting cash that a photo opportunity would get Lake Sandon to recede.
At least he's not getting paid £86,584 a year to supposedly be working hard for us.
And I could name far worse and dangerous bellends than him ;

Oh no, another thread heading towards pubs !

Some people like to be offended. It's a cheap hobby that can be pursued without any special equipment and in varied locations.

I really need to borrow that one from you.

You can have it - in exchange for any 'special information' that your other activities uncover...

Claires is opening in the vacant store next to JD sports

I will use cash, window cleaners etc

My, raather elderly, window cleaner now doesn't accept cash, requires payment by electronic transfer.

 

[Noah]

Little change on the new shops due to be opening in Queens. Greggs is fully fitted out and has a sign on the window saying "Opening soon", Home Bargains has applied for a premises licence for the sale of alcohol, no sign of any activity on the proposed Poundland or Charity Shop

That must be a pane.

 

[Trumpet]

Transparent accounting though.

Noticed the old Sports Direct / Woolworths store seems to have lost its for sale / let boards. Has someone taken it on ?

An application was submitted last year for "Change of use from one commercial unit to 6 commercial retail units on the ground floor and 8 residential flats on the first floor", but the application was withdrawn in March this year.

It's the old Bright house unit - the old Newlook is now the gym

6 in there? Will some have no windows?

I would have thought that would require planning permission. If so nothing is showing on the Planning site.

 

[Wormella]

I don't entirely understand how it can be split into any more then 2, long thin units without significant work
