Supermarkets wanting to reduce the number of checkout staff, but surely that's been obvious since the day it was started. What business isn't trying to use machines instead of people?. I am surprised they have been so slow in pushing this. No different to every other business and service. The council allows you to register as a voter in a few seconds online, rather than post a form back for ...
Find them on Google, you can even 'drive' there using street view.
Actually seems to be getting quite common, not only in the UK: http://win-house.co.uk/blog/key/house-raffles.html But not so easy, apparently this contravenes the Gambling Act as per this link: http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/8351360.Our_house_raffle_hell/
I for one, have never moaned about prices, I said previously I would be happy to pay for parking at Sainsburys, still cheaper than travelling to Exeter, etc where I pay to park anyway. Sorry, I must be a Moron, I don't understand how the number of shops in Dawlish relates to the problems of Inner City Life that you came here to escape. Nor, again possibly because I am a moron, do I understand the ...
Ah, so we go to Sainsburys because they have MONEY, an amazing hypothesis. I go there for the reason that has been posted here ad nauseum, 'cos they've got what I need, and before Sainsburys we went to Newton Abbot, Exeter or Torquay for most of the things we needed. Why don't people read what the Sainsburys shoppers are saying here??? Oh and PARKING right outside the store, I'd gladly pay for ...
Sainsburys have been very good for local employment, specifically giving employment all the year round, I know two people in Dawlish who were always out of work in Winter but did several jobs during the Summer. Both are very happy now to have a permanent job 12 months of the year. Two more taxpayers and two less benefit claimants! I agree with 007 that the local Sainsburys has saved me and other ...
You're quire right Lynne, that's why I made the comment, these anti-Builder, anti-Council, anti-Sainsburys etc rants have nothing to do with the price of eggs, oops, sorry, now we'll have people complaining about the price of eggs since Sainsburys moved to Dawlish.
I think most people overlook the obvious reason why 'builders' build houses. To make a profit. If you put x amount of money in the bank and take it out a year later, how much do you have. Not as much as spending x amount building a house then selling it a year later. What's the chance of a builder selling a house for less than he built it for? Even if it does stay empty for a year, the ROI beats ...
If those three stores close then that will be a severe blow to the Strand, but if they aren't doing the turnover they can't survive. I said in another thread that I feel sorry for places like Bastins as much as I like having a local Sainsburys, I still go to Bastins for tape, cards, envelopes, etc and also go to Sampsons for electrical goods. These are shops that have been really affected by a ...
I am also moving and can suggest you check out Sainsburys, they have a sectioned off area as you leave the checkouts and they put all their boxes in their every day, a lot of wine boxes but you can pick and choose the best stuff, and of course they are free.
