[QUOTE="ivan, post: 848768, member: 5814"] had a look through a few chazzas today. completely rinsed out. had a look in aldershot first. used to be a record shop there but it closed down about 2 years ago. pulled some gems out of there like P Lion - Burn in his hands. aldershot has a carboot on sunday but i was in the main "shopping" area today. scuzzy pubs with smokers outside, plenty of empty shops boarded up, £1 shops, cheque cashing shops and chazzas. there are a few high street names but on the whole it made me feel depressed just being there. real shame cos just over the road (literally) is a new cinema/restaurants/supermarket complex which is buzzing all the time. the town planners have put all their eggs in the basket with this complex to the detriment of the town centre. can't see anyone going from the complex into the town centre because there's nothing for them. real shame. scooted over to godalming on the outskirts of guildford and the difference could not be more marked. thriving little high street full of independent stores mixed with high street names. only 2 empty stores but one of those was getting refurbed. they also weren't boarded up. a few of the chazzas have gone to make way for new businesses. only 4 left now and they had nowt. so not really a digger's story, more like one man's take on the shopping experiences available to us in austerity britain. :( [/QUOTE]
