Hoow times change. My local high street.
« on: 17 October 2024, 11:40:46 »

Within the last couple of years it has changed beyond recognition.

We still have 3 banks, but only one is open
3 charity shops.
A strange sort of 'army surplus' store run by 'foreign gentlemen' using the old Woolworth store.
3 pizza shops.
3 pubs, but only one in use.
Superdrug.
7 Turkish barbers. Yes seven. That seem to have come about almost overnight. I wonder how they managed to get this past all the council regulations. ::)

Change can be good, but not always. :-X

No Nail Bars, Sun-tan Saloons or Poundlands/Poundworlds? If so you must be living in some deprived northern ghetto.

 Opti your shops sounds more or less identical to our " town centre" a money laundering paradise. Most of the foreigners hang around outside the chemist boozing & shaking hands with each other , evil scrounging c**ts.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

Give it time.  ;)

Yep the Arabic call to prayer from the wailing muezzin in the church tower minaret 5 times a day will be commonplace as well by then!  :-X
