Our local Homebase is closing down. I went in there today - loads of "stuff" heavily reduced. The guy at the pay counter said they still had ninety(90) artic. lorries of goods to get rid of. It would appear B&Q are taking over the store - it's a lot bigger store than B&Q have at the moment and more car parking. Lots of good deals, but then you think do I really need this??

Same here Barry except The Range are moving in.

We already have a Range Brian - it's huge - it takes about an hour to walk around - two if the wife is with you
I expect Basingstoke is the same as many towns, everything is closing down - Wilco had a huge store in the town centre, they have gone, Debenhams went some time ago, and WHSmith went last week. However, if you want shoes, a Turkish Barber or your nails done, we are inundated. Such is life

Sounds like Wycombe. House of Fraser closed, but we have an HMV, all the banks have branches and coffee and cake is everywhere.
