Wow, I do not think only going once to a shopping centre, if you want it to call it that have nothing to do with me being a bundle of joy or not.
We used to have mens clothes shops in the city centre, but since we got very little choice in our city now, where else do you think I should get my clothes from? I suppose I could go to Cardiff, may go there in the summer anyway. the high street is dead anyway, so shopping online is not going to much more damaged.
I try to support local shops if I can, butchers and bakeries not that we have got many local bakeries. in fact I think we only have one in the city centre and that is behind the butter market.
I would not complain if the old market closed down, it holds little interest for me, it would be a shame about the lost of jobs, even if most are part time and on low wages.
We need more shops in the city centre, but the Old market took a lot of them, something we was told would not happen, again we have been lied to over and over again about that monstrosity that now stands on the cattle market site. It seems like it is falling apart already with the tarpaulin on the roof, which I seen going past it yesterday.
