    Had to chance a dance to avoid offending any Gordon's.
    As for that club Sam Cooke went to where people were Twisting The Night Away....

    And I'm sure being proficient with the long pole stands you in good stead for punting up the back reaches.

    Arcadia (Top Shop, Top Man, Dorothy Perkins, Burtons, Miss Selfridge, Evans and Wallis) are about to go pop, putting 15,000 jobs at risk.

    It looks like Phillip Green won't try and get it back from the administrators, so a lot of it will go, though Top Shop is likely to have suitors.

    That's sexist, they should be forced to have dressers too. It's the sockers and shoers I feel for.

    Wow, that will leave many gaps and empty units on the high street - locally, There's Topshop, Topman and Miss Selfridge all in one unit in St Stephens, Topshop in Princes Quay, Burton's on Whitefriargate, Dorothy Perkins in St Stephens, Princes Quay and Whitefriargate (within Burton's), Evans in Prospect Centre and then I assume Outfit is part of Arcadia too, which has a store on Kingston Retail Park and in Beverley at Flemingate. I think Beverley has a Dorothy Perkins and Burton's too. Not sure Brid has any left at all anyway?

    I think the High St is finished .
    Even the likes of Next and Primark will eventually end up more in out of town outlets with the downturn in city centre footfall

    Potentially, but there’s also a chance that this will just lead to a reset of the rent and rates and a resurgence of independent retail.

    City centre retail will almost certainly reduce, whatever happens, but we could end up with a far better retail offer at the end of all this.

    I think people will be so eager to go out and socialise, shop etc it will be a mini resurgence.

    An iconic tag has been sprayed on the iconic three ships mural.

    Go to Berlin. Car show rooms are ****ing amazing, and in the city centre (I know it was a joke by the way)
    Stumbled into one on a night out with Askew and the ladies in Berlin and there was an art display and a bar and a band in one, so ended up with a beer, or two, having a look round a Bugatti Veron ...

    You wouldn't be able to drive it away though, due to the bike lanes.

    I reckon some of those brands are approaching their bbe dates regardless, but I don't think it's unreasonable to think that Phillip Green has been negligent, **** that he is.

    They're from a while ago, but these photos are both from multi-storey car dealerships on the Champs Elysee slap bang in the middle of Paris.

    I have no idea how the **** they get the cars in or out, or where you collect your car from if you buy one, but they're a smidgen more ambitious than half an acre of tarmac on the edge of an industrial estate.

    I've always disliked that mural. Brutalist, grey, and a bit miserable. Very important nod to our heritage though.
