Serves 'em right for being called "Bargain Booze".
Fucking horrible name for a shop, especially as many of them aren't simply offies, but stock all the kind of convenience style stuff that the independent newsagents they took over used to. There's a chain of them all over the North West, in some quite nice areas too. Fulwood, where this one is, is largely made up of £300,000 detached houses - clearly not the sort of place, anymore, where you can expect your local newsagents to still be standing of a Sunday morning, but certainly the kind of place that, like Walton-le-Dale, or Whittle-le-Woods, deserves to have a better named establishment gracing its high street or village green than "Bargain Booze".
Don't town council planners have any say in this kind of thing? I remember some story about a council refusing to allow McDonald's to display its golden arches on a high street, so why are all the councils in Lancashire allowing a company with a name like "Bargain Booze" to take over the high streets?
