No idea if it's just moved as I only walked to the club shop and back to M&S, proper end of an era, or the police finally found out what it was a front for, never seen anyone in there buying anything in 30 odd year What was it a front for, out of interest?

I do tend to assume, rightly or wrongly, that businesses that are around for ages and never seem to actually be doing any business must have something going on, likewise businesses that seem to be overstaffed, such as the club shop at SJP today, which had about 6 people stood doing fuck all. It's basically an involuntary reflex at this point, probably some deep lying trauma from work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTONEW Posted Saturday at 19:18 Share Posted Saturday at 19:18 (edited) I was at the Metrocentre yesterday with my eldest daughter. First time in years. Believe me, lads...it is very very grim now, compared to yesteryear. It's so sad and soulless. Edited Saturday at 19:19 by GOTONEW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From those sleek sharp lines and angles on the SS uniforms to saggy, rugby watcher bootcut jeans. As Steps famously sang, a “Tragedy”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
