Re: Sunday Trading

I certainly didn't mention the year 2000, nor made mention of any ruling political group.

I did say the problems have happened over the last few decades.

Re: Sunday Trading

By the way, I'm not personally knocking your politcal ambitions.

I'm sure nearly everyone would agree being a councillor is a fairly thankless task. Much criticism when you get it wrong, and faint...

By the way, how many 'Yuppies' did you spot shopping in Accy yesterday?

Did you check whether that blazer really was Ralph Lauren, and their Preppy shoes were Gucci loafers, and not fakes?

Re: Sunday Trading

One would have hoped that you would be therefore less judgmental about the plight of others, of whom there are many in this area, who struggle because of their relatively low income.

Re: Sunday Trading

Again, until people on low incomes have it tattooed on their foreheads, personally I can't tell who can, and who can't, afford to spend their money on whatever they want.

Personally I think it's wiser not to judge other people period. Especially based on something as superfical as the clothes on their back.

Re: Sunday Trading

Sadly with owners like the Swiss bank, who deal in billions, their investment is more likely tied up in the long-term increase of property prices, rather than income from rent.

Don't worry about the spin.

We're used to politicans, and those seeking to enter politcs, spinning to their own political agendas on here.

Also, don't worry about having an extra eighty quid in...

Re: Sunday Trading

It's owned by a Swiss bank, who sadly probably couldn't give two hoots about the numbers of empty units we currently have in Accrington.

A tiny speck in a massive property portfolio.

Re: Sunday Trading

I agree.

The market is a sad shadow of it's former self, and it's heartbreaking to see.

Nothing to do with people's changing shopping habits, as other market towns are still bustling, but down...

It wasn't sarcasm.

I prefer to deal in facts.

If there was a population to support mid to high end retailers, they'd be there, to mop up the profits.

Fact.
