The Old School, Lorne Street - have your say

[Sheik Yir Erse]

I can't for the life of me remember ....Well it was 40 years ago

You come on here with half a story!

well for gods sake let's not allow it to become another discount store. am I the only one who thinks nickel and dime's sign is a bloody great eyesore? sailing into the town what do you see? A wonderful old stone cross, a beautiful old hotel, a stunning new leisure centre, and a pound shop. I mean it's not as if you can't tell what kind of shop it is by the products displayed on the pavement outside. sorry, I digress.

Come in with the bus and get off at Milldam. That way you don't see it till you're acclimatised.

it just grates me to think about every photo taken from Knockscalbert area of the town-front.

they obviously had to apply for permission for that sign, i take it whoever looked at the application hadn't the brains to picture just how big an eyesore it would be, i've seen the other shops they have all in nice quaint towns spoiling the look of the place, not saying they don't deserve to be there doing business but that sign annoys me too.

maybe its the same guy that buys their stock of boxes for them, wonder when both shops thought they'd get a run on the need for handy containers? i'm assuming they need permission to have all that lot out on the pavement too?

see!!! this digressing thing could catch on, did take your mind off bill's half a story tho, i'm safe knowing he won't read this till he gets back to corby and theres little chance of me bumping into him in the street over the next few days, not unless he's planning on wearing a sandwich board!!!
