yup, it's getting hard to find inidivdual little shops, most cities are just indentikit shopping places in a slightly different order.
crap really.
bit more 'inbred' you mean? it's exactly like royston vasey in that respect.
"outsiders? here?! in our local town?!"
Damn right, in these parts we have a little newsagents called "the candy store" and a post office and a ol' knitting shop. Chain stores would be welcome here, no wonder i'm getting away fast!
you can never leave!hahaha
crazy guy being the perfect example... except he obviously knows he's disturbed. unless he's faking it to sound more interesting.
Well you don't have to go to the back of beyond! Salisbury has quite a lot of different little independent shops.
Mind you I did once stop in a tiny shop in a village in the New Forest where I was definitely eyed with deep suspicion whilst someone obviously local (they knew her name) was being lent a biro from the shop so they could write down a number from Directory Enquiries at the phone box!!! Imagine going into a stationers in Coventry and asking to borrow a pen!
chester ...seriously wealthy small city ...the centre had nothing to offer that seriously boring and industrial warrington didn't have ...at least liverpool had the docks and stuff but ...the centre ...same same same.
The only difference is the size of the shops and the number all in one place. It's like Merryhill is just Coventry (or anywhere else) city centre only on a grander scale.
and erm......... well it does have the lower precinct which is just fucking awesome for some late night (illegal) bike riding as the floor is so smooth.
blast down from lady godiva all the way to the bottom avoiding drunks and pull enormous skids and fall off on the 'marble' floor.
skids are for kids? are they fuck, kids can't do them properly. :cool:
same shops different facade ...for once.
people would have to work localy ...bet you can all find flaws with it ...but could it actualy work?
all these fucking fancy coffee shops and fast food bars have killed propper cafes.
there is now no chance of any of YOU ...opening your own high street shop flogging anything. family businesses are a thing of the past ...finnished.
that can't be good surely?

shes a vegetarian though... hmmm.
the independent record shop in derby is worse for hip hop than the HMV.
which is gay.
the demise of cafes is due to huge coffee shop chains opening numerous shops in the same street or locality ...forcing upo rents.
a family cafe that was paying 10 grand a year rent ...is now facing 50 grand a year rent and can't possibly survive ...does that seem like a good deal for you the cutomer?
of course not. your nnot only loosing choice your being ripped off.
a family cafe can no longer charge you 50p for a decent coffee ...cos your mostly dumb enough to pay far more for fashionable coffees ...fashioable trends are killing your choice.
