Shame really, I thought Woolworths was one of the better shops in accy

Wonder what will take its place, or will it be another empty space

Probably a pound shop or mobile phone shop

Once again you guys are victims of your currency ... we have $1.00 stores .... which means we pay only about 50p for the junk they charge you $2.00 for

... and just thought I would mention that we are paying about 30p a litre for gasoline

Any Woolies employees reading this thread , of if you guys know any of them , tell them to check out "protective award", give the Citizen's Advice bureau a call, they are entitled to more than they will get !

Why not move that awful outside market in there and give it some character. Then you have room for a good bus station?

There are no merits attached to being 'outside'
Fleetwood market is mainly undercover in two large connected halls.
It still has stalls like outdoor markets do and is only open on 'market days',
It is reasonable to assume that people prefer to be sheltered when shopping.

Its not a matter of that Margaret, outside markets are covered by Charter, which only allows them to open on certain days, thats why when they had the flea markets on Thusdays new goods should not have been sold.
