Went in must be five or six years ago with Ianto looking for a new bed and bedroom furniture. To be perfectly honest not much choice and delivery dates not when we wanted. Ended up buying from Argos which says a lot for "quality local service" IMHO :sad:

It's next door to the Calder.

They employ a lad, to walk up and down wearing a sandwich board, who always looks like he's about to cry, and who you can't help feeling sorry for.

Perhaps there's two.

Davis's bed store definitely employed one.

We used to see him when we were sat in Over Coffee.

Looking like he'd rather be doing anything else, other than walk up and down wearing that sandwich board.

This is what is happening all over.

Think you might be jumping to conclusions there.

figures, we all know its gonna happen at some point

I'm quite sure that on tuesday - about 10am - I saw big, whitewashed writing saying "Closing Down", being removed from the windows of this shop. How odd?

Maybe Wetherspoons jumped the gun early in taking the Commercial off Thwaites's hands; if they'd have waited a bit longer, they could have had the premises next door to the Calder. Now that would have been fun.
