I hate these shops with a passion, but thats not to say I don't use them now and again, at times needs must, but i do through gritted teeth. I use the one and only green grocers and butchers on Town St.I try, as much as possible to use the local shops, but too many people nowadays find the trompse to the hypermarket than bother to go local.SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TRADERS!!!!!!!

[quotenick="raveydavey"]With news that The Travellers Rest at Halton (not to be confused with the former Travellers Rest, now Red Lion, at Cross Gates) has been demolished to make way for yet another Tesco, the question has to be asked, how many Tesco stores does one city need?................Has this plan hit a snag ?Out with friends on Saturday and went past this location.One of our friends said that they haduncovered some old mine workings.Anyone else heard anything?
