Apparently the Co-op just lease the space, the new part will also be available to rent.

Shame really. When it first opened as Gateway, then Somerfield, it was a proper little supermarket, now it'll just be convienence store.

I don't think it was Somerfield - wasn't it Kwik Save?

But yes, Garinda I take your point, it's just going to be another little shop now.

No, it was definitely Somerfield's.

You know I'm never wrong....or will at least never admit to it, though I'm right in this case.

We are right, it was defo Somerfield's.

As a keen recycler I've still got the carrier bags to prove it.

I thought it was Somerfield too, Garinda.

Although I am surprised to hear that the co-op is being halved, it only confirms my suspicions that Oswaldtwistle could not have supported a Tesco had those plans gone ahead.

I can't remember Somerfield. Perhaps it was Gateway?

Well to settle the argument i've just email Somerfield's help line! You never know they might just think me daft enough to reply to me.

It's been both Gateway and Somerfield's before it was the Co-op, or Kwop, as it's known in Ossy.
