Fopp still exists in Cambridge! No idea how long for though.

They can't get rid of Woolies- I'm at a loss where to buy house-y bits like plates and picture hooks when at uni because there isn't one. Though I may be overly fond of it becuase it's the only half decent shop in my tiny town and I've worked there for 6 years on and off.

Wolverhampton is devoid of Burger King =( But obviously it still exists :biggrin:

Erm, there're still Wimpys around too, motorway service stations!

Nor does Stafford :frown:

I remember this little place called Tesco that used to operate in my village. I'm sure it's so long gone though that nobody really remembers their intimate customer service and fair trade championing.

Much Marcle sounds very familiar to me, and now I'm going to be trying to remember all day why I know it, damn!

Indeed it has, and with a bit of luck it will be replaced with Primark (although i think Boots are nicking the spot).

Boots are indeed nicking the spot! I'm not fussed either way cept maybe I'm a bit disppointed that I won't be able to "cram-a-cup" again :frown:

Gateways became Somerfield, Somerfield also took over Kwik Save.

I've seen 3 Dolcis shut down within the last couple of weeks, so I'm thinking they're gone?

For the girls - Kookai, I'm pretty sure is gone completely? Morgan have shut down a few stores, though they're still around I think? Does anyone remember a shop called Birds? :redface:
