An Offer You Can('t) Refuse
When it opened, everybody and the cat started running buses there to take the crowds of happy shoppers on their weekly retail therapy. They all fizzled out (buses not shoppers!) as most dedicated spenders found it more convenient to go by car.
UNOwho in fetching fuchsia, is bucking the trend with this new Saturday only offering for the University of Northampton.
Why students and staff would want to pay £5/£8 to go all the way to Rushden to buy things they could purchase in Northampton is not at all clear, but such is the lure of a retail park.

Sounds as though fbb hasn't visited his home town's retail facilities in a while. Many large stores have departed, and Rushden Lakes appeals to a kind of shopper who would once have frequented town centres...
ReplyDeleteSuper wpis! My od jakiegoś czasu myślimy o eksporcie naszej odzieży na wschód. Wiem, że potzrebne nam będą certyfikaty gost k i inne dokumenty. Dlatego chcemy udać się do CCRW po wszystkie niezbędne dokumenty. Wiem, że powiedzą nam co i jak trzeba załatwić.
