What's going on? Had to venture into our Town Centre yesterday, Cattle Market has bit the dust, The York was shut and on Bradshawgate, all the block from the Bookies on the corner to the old BMW place is empty (Including The Leena - no great loss, the new indian restaurant up the road is good).

 

Over the road the news stand that's been there since forever has also shut up shop. Perhaps the declining sales of 'toddy mags', due to the internet, was the final nail in the coffin?

 

Is this sommat to do with the new bus/rail interchange they're planning? It's going to be almost as welcoming as the current 'Gateway to Bolton' (you know, the one way street leading out of town...)

 

It's embarrassing when the likes of Bury and even Wigan, are showing us up as a right shithole.

Anyone know what has happened to Union Rd? I took a shortcut up to my gay hairdressers and saw that all the houses look to have been boarded up. Is it due for demolition?

 

earmarked for the ground of FC Bolton which Anewman will buy when he fixes the euormillions ITK FACT TYHHF

Union road is on its way to being improved by being flattened.

I notice Oranguls had moved into the market place opposite Norton Barrie

In all my years visiting the town, I've always said its been missing a meat emporium

 

Well it looks like we are getting one

 

And not just any ordinary one

 

Its the 'Wayne Walker Quality Meats Store'

 

Bring it on Spinningfields

you reckon he'll take my name suggestion to call it "Beat Yer Meat"

good luck to the fella

 

i was however amused by the rags 'runs a fleet of FOUR vans' line

Is the Brass Cat shut?

I see he's pitching up inthe old "World of Fashion" store - I never once went in said establishment, was it really a world of fashion?

It's a pity he's not a Geordie, then he could have a big sign (also welcoming visitors to Bolton) proclaiming:

 

Look! WayneWalker's Galaxy Fair Fayre Howay!

was it really a world of fashion?

 

It was to the inhabitants of Breightmet.

And how long before he's known as Wayne Wanker?

I went in once - it was like Tony Montana's mansion...As for the meat place, fair play to the bloke but is a pile it high, sell it cheap meat emporium the best way to herald the new transport hub?

 

Will he be chucking in a pig's dick for the dog with every £10 spent?

Is it the glass building facing what used to be Ride n Drive?

Nice place to open a shop

It's the former Comet...The old asian pictures to older posters, on the corner, mirrored rather than glass if one's being pedantic (ok, so mirror is glass, if one's being ultra-pedantic).

They had a load of snide Burb, but also some current Armani stuff at decent prices. Must have been seconds or something.

 

The mirrors on the corner are of course Bolton's answer to Dallas.

 

Good luck to the bloke anyway.

Is it the glass building facing what used to be Ride n Drive?

yes traf

does seem a pile em high type shop

Every credit to it does a roaring trade. Personally, I don't think I'll be partaking in any of Wayne meat though.

I'll still be getting mine from The Castle meat raffle.

Sometimes I look at those 'Farmfoods' pamphlets you get through the door (before burning it then disinfecting my hands) - I'm baffled by the prices, it may be perfectly good stuff and I may be a food snob, but £3.95 for a kilo of chicken breast? Hmmm...something not quite right with that (I presume they can only have 10% or so of the weight as 'moisture').

Supermarket chicken is entirely different to stuff strraight from the farm.

We keep chickens in our back yard........................
