Can't see Wickes folding, they aren't threatened by the Internet.

But they're rubbish, cold, dirty and always empty

or is that just the Nottingham one?

Lol, which Nottingham one? The Riverside one? There's a little old fella who almost sustains that place on his own. Very polite, very knowledgeable. Ask anyone for advice in there and they all point to him.
I also use the Bulwell one.

Within a mile of the Riverside Wickes, there is:
Homebase, Toolstation, B&Q and Screwfix.

Yeah - I know the guy. He IS a good 'un, unlike the brain-dead school dropouts in the rest of the store.

A little more light on the Homebase situation. 40 stores to close in the next five years. Well there's a surprise.

A bit of a ramble with no aim, I dont know why the general public have fallen for all this crap,cheap jewelry that makes people look tacky clothes that will look shabby after the first wash a lot of shoes are now made out of plastic ,a great example of brain washed public watches with enormous faces if they wern't in fasion who would want one, so when all these shops have disapeared from our town centres the property will no longer be prime so the rents may come down,may be that would let some more interesting shops move in,my local town has very little that I need ,perhaps when the large companies that charge high rent's and rob us all for parking fee's abandon town centre's things might get better.
