Woolworth's

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:(
 
All the staff looked well peed off this morning( as you would) a real shame and a great loss on the high street.:(
 
it looks really sad now in there such a flipping shame.... if it does close wonder what it will become.... big big big pound shop:
 
Seeing its so big maybe it could be a £2 shop:rolleyes:

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:eek: ... and just thought I would mention that we are paying about 30p a litre for gasoline:alright::hidewall: ...
 
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 !:rolleyes:

Maybe you should post that on number 10s Web Site Eric:rolleyes:
 
Wouldn't be an outside market then Roy;)
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.
 
I Ken...................but there would be less cases of frostbite :hothothot

Mark this day down in history, I'm going to agree with you :D

As somebody who has had permament blue skin for the last couple of weeks I would definatley jump at the chance of more shelter.

Both Blackburn and Burnley outside markets are technically indoors.

Maybe Woolworths could be developed in to various spaces for shops who are different, a sort of mini Ossy Mills.

Although I don't go to Blackpool often there is a place on the corner next to the Tower which is an old department store developed in to a type of market which I actually like looking round. If I'm not mistaken isn't that an old Woolworths store ?
 
That`ll be PriceBusters dave................what a load of tat that was and i`m not sure if it has closed down......:rolleyes: and yes it was an old woolies

Must be about 7 or 8 years since I last went, there were one or two 'tat' stalls but there were also stalls where the stuff was decent and unusual. Maybe if it's closed down then it's because it all went tat's up :D
 
Market charters are archaic laws which enabled the king and aristocracy to levy a charge for a town's right to trade, and are not relevant in the 21st century

But still on the statute book and very much enforced.
If someone tries to open an alternative market with the town boudaries or I think within 6 miles, the council will jump on them.
That's not to say an annex albeit not connected to the existing market hall controlled by the council cannot come under charter rules?
