Limp and bloodyBlood on the dancefloor?
Just how I like my women!Limp and bloody
Think the green building is due to go as part of the Uni Masterplan.
Fucking Britannia, like Sainsbury’s and Iceland just won’t fuck off though and there’s not a lot anyone can do.
I don't understand why compulsory purchase wasn't a thing mind you?Funny you mention Sainsbury's. Priory Place right next door was supposed to line up with the cathedral spire so you could see it through the Whittle Arches when you stand in front of the Transport Museum but doesn't because Sainsbury's refused to leave.

(Where are the planning experts to go with accountancy and legal?)

I heard that when all of that development was being sorted the council tried to get Sainsbury's to move another location in the City but they refused as they said that it was one of the most profitable shops they had in the country and it was down to it's location.
The council then threatened compulsory purchase to which Sainsbury's made it clear they would fight it all the way through the courts and their pockets were deeper than the councils. The council then backed off and it went ahead in its present form.

Was this during the Christmas period ?I went Fratellis once. There was a used tampon in the middle of the dancefloor.
Why,you gonna suggest it came down with the decorations?Was this during the Christmas period ?
It was really annoying because it felt like a compromise could surely have been reached.I heard that when all of that development was being sorted the council tried to get Sainsbury's to move another location in the City but they refused as they said that it was one of the most profitable shops they had in the country and it was down to it's location.

Sainsbury's get a new building pretty much where the current one is, while allowing the plan to go ahead with the desired sightline. Could well have increased footfall further and aided Sainsbury's more.
On the other hand, council could have said they were moving/closing Pool Meadow, which I'm sure is part of the reason it does so much business.
That project had a lot of potential and has largely been a failure because of Sainsbury's refusal to move.
Just saw that Chamelon is now closing down.
Remember when them and Eltex were the only place you could buy any designer clobber in Cov.
Great shout! Forgot about Hannigans!Used to get my rockports from hannigans I think it was called?
Great shout! Forgot about Hannigans!
Rockports though? You must have been minted!!
I always wanted a pair of the light brown ones growing up and finally managed to get a pair but they were the brown/green ones but they were someone's catalogue purchase which didn't quite make it to the rightful owner.
I noticed last time I was in town that Charlie Brown's was now punting purportedly designer gearChameleon's was always going to suffer with the internet and a massive flannels around the corner

Yeah I had a quick look on their website and it was like being transported back 15 years, the range is mediocre and you'll never beat Fraser Group or JD owned chains for selling that sort of stuff.Sad for chameleon to go but last few times I've been in there the selection of clothes was poor. It's a fairly large unit they're in and about 50% of the stock was Hugo boss, which I like, but there was just no variety. The rest of the clobber in there was pretty chavvy and shite too.
Bloke I worked with at Rolls Royce many years ago owned Chameleon also owned Corks Wine Bar prior to that.Just saw that Chamelon is now closing down.
