Accy needs a Subway like a fish needs a bicycle!

Garinda, you say your family shop had a cafe on the side, in the 70's. I cannot rember this. Please refresh my memory. On the top side of the shop was a small clothes shop that was run by Stan & May Corbett and below, on the library side, was a small shop that sold flowers & trinketts, but I cannot picture the cafe; unless it was very early 70's.

Sparky you were only a babbi then, lol.

The cafe was next door where the flower shop was until recently and was open from 1970-74. We recently sold it and it's been empty since July and we are told they are going to open it as a computer/phone shop.

The disco was on the corner facing the site of the old Co-op and is now flats.

maybe if the council put a limit on how many kebab shops accy needs there would be room for a subway

maybe getting rid of mcdonals and replacing it with a subway would be a better idea

not saying subway food is health food but i bet its %500 healthier than mcdonalds

Subways are Ok...... but nothing spectacular........the onlt real thing that I like about their sandwiches is they don't use butter or marge.......but if you go into one of the local sandwich shops that make to order then you can ask them to leave the bread bare.....and hold the mayo. Use your local sandwich maker or lose them.

Shops will sell cheese and tomato as long as there is demand for cheese and tomato. It's up to customers to ask if they have anything more interesting and if they are asked often enough then they'll get the message.

The one opposite the Warner St end of the arcade isn't bad but last week we got butties there and were very disappointed. I'm just trying to remember what they were and can't which probably shows how tasteless they were. The last time we went there we were very pleased which was why we went back. Obviously it varies.

If a "SUBWAY" shop is as popular as its forum, it won't last more than a week

dont knock them until you tried them guys

their food is more scummy and definatly more hygenic than the sess pits along blackburn road

i went to subways in bolton on my birthday inbetween pubs and didnt wake up the next day with that ive just eaten a dead cat taste in my mouth

ime sure they wont effect local trade as during the day people will stick to their local butty shop but on a night out the local shops are shut and subways would be a refreshing change from double dog burger and chips or cat tika

When I travel, I look for somehting other than what I can easily get at home. I'll pass on eating at Subways in the UK.

And to think that I thought that a UK "subway" allowed me to cross under Oxford Circus in London!

Well done Chav, love your pro subway arguement.......

I still don't see why people can't make own sandwiches, pannies or whaterver bread they like
its easier & cheaper, or have we really become , the lazy society.

I went to subway once in Chorley, Wish i had'nt bothered. I ordered a Bacon, sausage and egg, what i got was pretend bacon, pretend sausage and and omlette egg thing.

It was YAK!!

Wont go there for brekki again might go to try a butty one day but not in no rush to.

cashman · 26-04-2005, 13:24

don't agree much with subway,nowt against them,but what accy needs is PROPER shops,we have too much of the same type, hardly any individual or specialist type of shop.used to have in days gone by.
