The High Street is Dead and Shops should be Turned into Homes

[eek]

Had an argument at the railway station on Saturday. Statement we removed free parking in January and you now have to pay .

Well that is all fair and good and yes it is clear if I walk away from the station to THAT payment machine unfortunately you fail to mention the fact on the machine and sign you walk past as you walk towards the station by the station entrance itself.

I think he got upset when I called the operations director at 7pm to handle the issue. I can't think why?

Business rates are way too high.

I second that. Even in the little grubby town I have my office in the rates on my office are more than the rent! Luckily I get 100% back for the moment - but even the empty building rate is more than my rent.

Another one gone...

Was in ModelZone in Temple thon't motorway (traff centre) and it has a closing down sale, found out it's gone bust, debts of £11m.

Apparently Deloittes warned them a while back that they were expanding too quickly.

Still, there's some decent bargains to be had, but no Hornby or Scalextric (they also owed Hornby £200K but they have wavied this debt)

That is a shame, although not a huge surprise. I've been itching to buy a new R/C truck but they have nothing in there I want so I'm forced to look online.
