Lol. I wondered if Gayle meant that. It's one of the best shops in Ossy, and besides the reproduction stuff, for high quality second hand read expensive, but good quality antiques. People come from all over the North to get their antiques repolished there.

I know I did the furniture shop a bit of an injustice in some respects but it wasn't intentional, I was just trying to sum it up in a short sentence.

It beggars belief doesn't it that the County and the local Council can mess things up in this way and not work together. The County didn't even need to sell it off they could have made it into a car park themselves, it wouldn't be a free one but I'm sure it's a better long term investment than selling off the land. It's such shortsightedness all around.

Was the building not sold by auction, think LCC are in the same boat as HBC............sell off assets to balance the books
