2 shoe shops, 2 Jewellers, 8 clothing shops, a card shop, a kitchenware shop and an expensive sweet shop?*
We gave it all away (for three quid), messed up the traffic and drainage (possibly forever) lost a life, and began to suck the life out of Northbrook Street, for this?
People who like to buy piles of clothes are idiots. So we have redesigned Newbury to cater for idiots.
I can't help but agree, although I try to temper my language with a small amount of a live and let live vibe! Fortunately for the idiots perhaps, their disposable income is inversely proportional to their intelligence!
The real kicker is that they're organising a parade, yep, a parade, to welcome these shops to town. Yay! *waves little flag* welcome Lakeland, you've come to save us.

Let joy be unconfined.
Threep.
*aint we got most of these shop types already?
Utter rot, you do not speak for the whole of Newbury. I welcome them and it's about time we had a few more, even if they are "chains".
You must be a very happy bunny then. Good luck to you.
Why is it 'Utter rot' to ask if we don't already have national chains of clothes shops, card shops, jewellers, expensive chocolate and kitchenware shops? Surely it is 'utter rot' to suggest we haven't already got those types of shops?
I agree with the honorable member....I'm especially looking forward to Barclays, Costa, Fat Face, Jones the Bootmaker, New Look and Debenhams.
Reading the list reminds me of those cards we would collect at school, swapping those which we have already: Got, got, got, ain't got, ain't got, got, got , ain't got, got, etc...
