skyfitsboy Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 This time on West Street, on the corner opposite Creator where the book shop used to be. Opened at lightening speed! Were being invaded, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I'd have preferred it to stay as a bookshop. All of them on West Street (Blackwells, the second hand one, and now Applebaums) have closed within a fairly short space of time and been replaced by yet more cafes, bars and eateries (or in Blackwells case, by an empty shop again at the moment). West St. used to be interesting to walk down... now there's nothing much to go there for as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvalidUser Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The closure of bookshops is more to do with amazon.co.uk than Subway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2 in the city centre is 2 too many, nevermind more appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I trust that the people who were so anti-Starbucks will muster their might against SubWay as well... I've eaten at a SubWay in Leeds and wasn't impressed. I think I'll be staying with my usual sandwich suppliers for a while yet. It's a shame to see the bookshop go - I used to like having a browse 'cos you could occasionally find a few bargains there. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 What is weird is that if you go into a Sub-Way in the US (or a Starbucks) the quality of both the food and the service is so much better than what you get in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
