Not A Mobile Phone Shop
 
Walked passed Wilkos today & noticed a new shop front being constructed in the unit accross from that shop that flogs 2nd hand guitars,stereos,TV's etc(don't know the name of the place-next to the cheap shoe shop),anyway i don't think its another phone shop as it looked like catering equipment of some sort had already been installed.Another Kebab shop is it?Anyone in the know?

Think there's any chance of a Starbucks opening up anytime soon? I'm quite partial to a triple-shot cappucchino on a Saturday lunchtime. :cool:

At the rate shops are closing, I'd settle for a greasy spoon.

I'll do a deal , you take one of the 10 Starbucks within 2 miles of me and just give me one place to buy a steak pudding .

Starbucks the most overpriced , pretentious, soul destroying places on earth . :(:(:(

Can't be that classy, we've had one onsite at my works for ages now and they are opening a second one/juice bar in about 4 months.

Is that not the case with all that sort of stuff, Macdonalds, Wimpy, KFC etc... All this "Have a nice day" and " Would you like fries with your burger sir?" "Thankyou for calling".

Well, yeah, SJ, I take your point - they are a bit poncy, but for some reason I like 'em.

To be quite honest, these are the sort of caffs I REALLY enjoy

Classic Cafes | London's vintage Formica caffs!

but sadly, you can't find many of them up North. :(

We certainly dont need any more pie shops, though there's obviously a market for it, you can get a decent coffee at Over Coffee across from HSBC they also do a decent lunch.

OOh thanks for the lunch info Grego. I often wonder where people recommend to have a midday snack/meal in Accy.

I haven't been in for a while Willow, but last time I went it was lovely, all freshly cooked and upstairs there's a little craft shop.

Yes it is a good cafe Divine. and it was previously Soup.

I like a good cup of coffee so might give it a try when down. If not well will have to find one some were. Not to bothered food wise providing I can get a sarny.

So come on then,Who'es eating all the pies:confused:Is Accy challenging Wigan as the pie capital of England.When will this government put a ban on eating pies due to the high cost to the NHS due to all the coronary heart disease these pies are responsible for:confused:.I did'nt know 5 a day meant 5 pies.

Re: Not A Mobile Phone Shop
 
Well it certainly isn't me; I am partial to a nice meat and potato pie but finding a nice one in Accy is impossible, Ashworths ones are about the best you can hope for,some of the butchers stalls in the market do them but I would'nt eat a Greggs or Sayers one as long as I live and Mannings & Oddies are too greasy and sloppy. Maybe I'm hard to please but life's too short for second best,even in pies !
