empty shops

[tweedsider]

Have spoken to several people who say that they won't be back to Morrisons - too cold and can't find what they want.
Like others, i spent a couple of leisurely hours shopping in there, nice but I don't always have the time

Its certainly cold in there ! A lot of folk dont have the time and like to run around and pick up what they want and out !
last week i wanted some cherry pie filling -had to ask somebody and it was beside the fresh fruit not as you would expect beside the tinned fruit etc !! crazy !

my friend has just told me tonight she doesn't like it thinks it's too big and she can't find anything either, I've been saving the vouchers for the Christmas shop so had to go there

[grumpy]

And it's too late for parking charges to be dropped

[boozysuzi]

Not just Berwick, but nationally.

same in every town went to edinburgh festival last week and a 45 minute tour of old edinburgh ended up 2 hours because of the tram system they took us around all the old parts with history then we went through a dump think it was sighthill not sure if thats how you spell it what a dump lap tops clubs gambling shops pawnbrokers it was really run down compared to the rest of edinburgh but i won't go on another bus tour, thing was they wouldn't let anybody get off the bus until they got back to where they started, thought ther ewas gonna be a riot at one point with folk jumping up ringing the bell demanding to get off but nah no way, we were held prisoners on that dam bus !!!!

Dear me, expect that in Jamaica, but not Edinburgh.

Maybe we could organise tours to Berwick Unseen?

The Prior Pot Hole Tour? The Industrial Estate that Time Forgot? Wine tasting at Old Mans Corner?

But where to set off from? Do we have a coach facility yet?

Let's go to Alnwick instead...........
