Coop

I must stand up for the Co-op staff I encounter at my normal shopping time which is after 5pm on my way from work. I've always found the staff to be friendly and helpful - especially the lads who work there.

OK, so they pay bank charges, but not the cost of paying someone to physically collect the money. Doesn't seem right somehow! ...

"I still haven't heard of a sensible objection to Tesco's application." 1) it would kill off the town centre - all of us who walk to do our shopping, and there are many of us, would loose out if our butchers, bakers, greengrocers etc are killed off by out of town trade. And then we'd be left with empty shops. There are a limited number of customers in Dawlish, it's a small town, and our town ...
