Read on twatter a post by Reebok Voice saying he had been in The Market Place and was suprised to see so many empty shops.

 

I think he said 20 odd closed. I went in sunday and also couldnt believe how many closed!

 

Well according to the Bolton News, another 2 are closing.

 

Top man and The body shop.

Bodie & Doyle?

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.

You are probably right but then it was never a shop for chavs.

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.

I don't know if anyone else saw them but last year the billboards were advertising to go shop at the rock across town. Bloody incredible.

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

No idea, but I am now back in my Tonge Fowd residence.

Ah, I see (I think )

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.

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?

 

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.

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.

Plus you still can't walk onto Victoria Sq without some cunt meethering you. That doesn't happen at the TC.

Did you buy anything nice?

About half the shop. Bargain.

A 10 page thread full of grown men complaining about some shops. Fucking unbelievable.
