General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I 'avent been north of Torquay from August till yesterday. Called into wigan centre today and was deader than ever and this was tier 3. I used to get frustrated this time of year as loads of excited youths spending their xmas money meant queues in shops everywhere. I sadly saw no youngsters about at all and looking back wish i'd been more patient. I called in Debenhams to see that was now closing down, Post office has wood in t' window frames, Mesnes St was all empty windows. Well - tier 4 isn't gonna help.
