Stourbridge is turning into a Charity shop town,
I wonder how long before 02 goes DaeDalus told me there sales weren't very good a while back and ive been in there about 9.20am in the morning and there yawning and vacuuming the floor how un-professional is that?
The Students ain't healthy lol
colleagues at work commented on young people being very overweight and saying how well I looked after myself lol
with all the pubs closing is it because of the smoking ban?
or is it again the cannot afford to keep up the rent

Well since O2 got rid of our cleaners, we have to clean the shops ourselves, so at 9:20am, hoovering isn't out of the question
As for closing, na, we've got the biggest customer base of all the UK networks, we're not going anywhere anytime soon
There was a big Superdrug that closed down a year or so ago here (only to be replaced by H&M, GREAT, another flippin' clothes shop!!), but I discovered via a friend who worked at Three (who had a concession there) that someone at Superdrug's head office was sent a reminded for their lease, and they kept ignoring it and putting it to the bottom of the pile, and eventually the landlord was forced to evict them and they closed and emptied within 4 days, leaving all those staff out of a job

I think it's un-professional james cleaning should be done 30mins before you close well thats what we do, customers always try and get in at 5pm when the doors shut or they look at you funny cos your shut
even worse being a charity shop is that they bring donations in at the end of the day and we have to hide rom the door
but still I bet we get more custom then that Stourbridge 02 shop
I agree with you on "H&M"
I tell you sumat too don't visit Berlin they have a shop on every corner

Yeah in the shopping Mall were my business was, quite a few places closed down. My rent was just above the 20K mark and on the High St, but the other business that moved into the new complex are being charged 90K.
So Brantano shoes closed and a few others cant remember which. Its going to be a tough year for businesses 09.
