Hmv now closed

 

Gregory & Porritts closing next month

 

Not surprised that Gregory & Porritts is closing. I've walked past there numerous times over the last couple of years on a Saturday and never seen anyone in. The furniture may be well made but it all looks like the sort of stuff only old folk would have in their houses. I doubt any of the sofas have iPod docks and speakers built into them.

 

It's also a shit location, way off the beaten track.

Well, went into town yesterday for the first time in ages. Parked in near the Anchor and walked up Church Bank. Only a handful of cars parked there despite it being hols.

 

Churchgate is basically shut, the BEN building, Churchgate House, the tax building etc. The only other person on the street was the yellow peril, Traffic Enforcement Warden or whatever they are called. There is no fucking traffic...

 

Had a walk round the Market Hall, coming down the escalator, looking at the roof, you can feel the history in the building. Everyone involved in that current abortion should be charged with cultural vandalism. That means you Clifford.

 

Notice in the window of HMV saying the nearest one is Bury. Sad that Bury is so far ahead of Bolton.

 

Bought a Lancashire Pastie from Greenhalgh's, served by some Polish bird, and went home.

Do they not sell pasties in the Wigan borough you now call home?

More and more of Clifford Morris's big-name retailers closing their doors in the market place. Something is seriously flawed with the council for allowing this to carry on unchecked.

You're right S. I walk around looking at boarded up shops, pound shops, betting shops, food shops and charity shops and there, Bolton shopping experience done.

I'm sure we've said before but there in nothing in Bolton town centre that will mean you need to go there, so why bother?

 

Luckily enough the tattoo parlour & porn shop are just across the road from the station so I don't have to walk into town proper.

Nice to see Oringals, Norton Barrie and Duffer plus the orher one grouped together, they do some decent stuff. I spent £2 in Wilkos also.

 

As I didn't need a pay day loan there wasn't much else there for me.
