Is it too early in the morning to start thinking about Bo Derek?

Fellini probably did.

Roman, Next, and M&S(undies 🤫) for me. Luckily still all in Barnsley🤞

Hopefully they will stay with all the modernisation going on in Barnsley centre, we used to prefer Huddersfield but that is going downhill, especially since British home stores and M&S closed.

The centre is coming on quickly now that it's practically been deserted for some time. The last time I went in which was just before Christmas, the whole centre was cordoned off. It will look good when it's done, but I loved the old pre 1970's Barnsley with it's 'proper' market. I still miss it😒.

I know I'm being pedantic, but the Woolworths in Australia has no relationship whatsoever with the late lamented Woolworths in the UK.

I should have been meeting a friend to get a take away coffee and go for a walk around  Trentham Gardens this afternoon but she called me this morning to tell me that her son-in-law has tested positive for covid.  She is in a child care bubble for her daughter so she has been in contact with her son-in-law when he had dropped off and picked up her granddaughter and so she and her husband are now isolating.

Stunned by the John Lewis Sheffield closure, though, Avril. I always assumed that to be one of the safer stores.

 

The Meadowhall effect?

I hope your friend and her family are well and avoid the covid19 her son in law has tested positive for.

Hopefully he has only a mild case of Covid19

Which is is now linked to Rotherham retail park with the Super-tram, which crashed

on it's first day out. Between them draining  the life out of the town centres .

The last C&A store we were in was in Fuerteventura, and Woolworths in SA  is of course actually M&S, not sure if Aus is the same.

Barnsley market took some beating int good owd days, not many proper markets left, we like a run out to Bakewell now and then, but even their market isn't the same. A lot of town centres have been struggling for years and covid could be the final nail in the coffin for some.

Thank you Graham, she said that he has had no symptoms but when a work colleague tested positive everyone who had been in contact with that person had to get a test and 10 others tested positive.  It really made me think how careful we all need to be if people are asymptomatic.

I haven't been there for years but I loved having the Pie& Peas in the café upstairs.

Think it was called Oldfield's back then.

Too late,Wowz has already shattered my colonial superiority.Someone is gonna say that Cadbury Aus is not related to UK.When the Aussies were boasting about it on the ship,I had to try it.It was a orrible bland gunk.

I was surprised by Sheffield John Lewis on the list of closures.I think it is partly the Meadowhell effect but also the fact it is a very large store with probably a very high rent.I will just have to spend double next time I am in Southampton!! 🙂
