I miss Wilko, I'm still surprised the one in Hereford shut down, it was always busy, I guess it goes to show how much busier those out of town ones are, and how much it costs in relative terms to have to pay all that rent, compared to just warehousing!

Places like the pound shops and B&M seem to have filled that gap, but we need quality products to buy as well. We do like John Lewis, but have to drive a way to get to one. Where I work in Stevenage the town centre is pretty dire, but there are 'retail parks' with the big stores. My home town of Bedford used to have multiple department stores that have all gone. That leaves a hole.
