I went today ... spoke to people in the store , it’s gonna be the car place Evans halshaw , something like that anyway ,
Took me 1:15 mins to pay for the shit I bought

They have a quite large and new place in Foleshill, though that's a silly location for a car dealer, worse than where Leekes is..

Such a stupid place for a shop. Was never going to last.

Agree. I went in there once and learned my lesson. The staff were really snobby considering it was a shop, and I paid £25 for a pair of nice slippers for my dad's Christmas present.

Saw the same fucking things in TK Maxx a week later for a tenner.

Palmer and Harvey is closing down too there massive depot next to the Village Hotel, always thought that would be a good area for a stadium. Next to Canley train station, on the A45, a walk over Hearsall common to the pubs of Earlsdon and Craven St, not to far from the city centre,a nice neat football stadium would fit in perfect!

I can just imagine that. A quick stop in my place before the game to have a chat about Brexit. Then onto the Farmhouse for a pint before nipping into Go Outdoors for some tools to scrap with once we hook up with AFC Fylde outside The Village.

Careful, might ruin your scarf and t shirt look or scrape your toms *

It will be the same at Next and others from Boxing Day onwards, just a stock cleanse exercise to get rid of the tat that hasn't sold in the previous 11 months.

Thought that selling off stock that wasnt moving was the whole point of the Boxing Day sales ? You're hardly going to reduce goods that sell well...

That's not wrong in fairness.

Although, we don't tolerate that nonsense in the City Arms.

There are still the pretentious few in there. Not as many spending a week's wages on a drink to try and show off as the Hollyhead and other places though.

Millsys is the odd one.

A really respectable establishment for 95% of the week, then on Friday and Saturday night it just turns into a coke den full of thugs.

I don't get it.

It's the middle aged blokes with fake tans, t shirts and scarves or the younger lads who think they are on TOWIE and walk round with stuff like Grey Goose that has clearly just spent their week's budget.

I feel more comfortable in shit holes where you know what's what from the start. Won't beat the Tudor Rose (RIP) for that.. One corner there's the fellas from Romania / Kosovo etc watching the women with 2 teeth, the corner of women with 2 teeth dancing for the Romanian / Kosovans and then the group of people there just for the entertainment of it all.

I got a bottle of Grey Goose in duty free years ago when it was mentioned all the time in hip-hop tracks, just tastes like all the other vodkas the right side of Glen's as far as I'm concerned. Kept the bottle and just refilled it with Smirnoff in case MTV Cribs ever came round.

Should have just used water, I am still hoping the bottles at the back of my mum's cupboards dont ever need to come out for an occasion.

That's the beauty of it, far more entertaining.

Would be great for pre-match entertainment too.

Evans Halshaw is a trading name - it’s owned by Pendragon. They will have a franchise agreement with a manufacturer - Sytner own Land Rover Jaguar and BMW in Coventry.

I do know the site has approval to be a motor retailer.

Makes sense
