IKEA Closing in Coventry (1 Viewer)

The city centre definitely needs some green space, a music venue, and a football stadium. It doesn’t need more shitty shops that shut down after six months or yet more cafes and restaurants.

If we had the entertainment venues/stadium it would need more cafes/restaurants. We've barely just got started in terms of eating out.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned but surely the council would jump at the chance for wasps to move in with a huge training facility , indoor pitches, training facilities, gym and anything else to promote their favourite sporting body.

Retail is a part of our culture. If this was in America it'd be seen as an almost intrinsic part of our culture.

Forgive but I don't see shopping as a cultural event

Can't fit it on my wall for all the Bob Marley and fake modern art prints I have

Where have you been?

Every slick rick Love Island bellend. Same as above the ankle trousers, bring back "its too cold for shorts" comments.

 

[David O'Day]

In cov nick, I think you and I granddad have different idea when you say "slip on shoes". I'm thinking uncle nobhead style white numbers or the rugby boy on tour brown war crimes

Guaranteed to get a few pairs of them.

Holyhead is also a banker along with a t shirt and scarf. Maybe some pretend glasses if it's a good day.

 

[David O'Day]

Mate even the the Kenilworth wannabes who go Millsy's will laugh at people in them

I can imagine them to be the kind of shoes that Bolton fans woudl cut about in to be fair. Look the bizzo with a pair of adidas 4 stripe bottoms

That's on the design and mass market democracy of design they enabale.

That is culture, being lost in 7 floors of tat isn't
