We did need the cinema, however we did not need another two supermarkets! We now have two ASDAs ,Tescos,Lidl,Aldi,Sainsburys and Morrison very soon, there's only so much to spend.
Everyone will end up back to ASDA as there are the best value for money there is!

Would have loved to see a nice Italian restaurant like La Scala , rather than a "chain" one and Burger king for the kids

Asda's fruit and veg, meat and bakery will take a tumble once Morrisons get going, me I think it's great for the town, people now have a choice of supermarkets instead of the big yank one, if the others cant compete well that's life bye bye. As for the the other thing well I'm personally not interested, though a Burger King would have been nice again to challenge a big yank (yes I know Burger King is also a yank) but if folk want to spend their money on whatever then who are we or anyone else to say what they can and can't have?

La Scala is very average at best

Did you ever scorch any of the prints when the reels jammed. Just before the Odeon on Oxford Rd closed I went up in the projector room and all the old projectors were up there and the projectionist was revamping them. It's very, very rare that we do any filming on film any more. They don't even use tape.

You don`t need to travel into Manchester for quality restaurants... The High Moor at Wrightington is top notch, The Grill on the Square in Warrington is also good.
Although the Gaucho Grill in Manc is excellent.

More jobs for the town the better I say. Supermarkerts provide a hell of a lot of employment, and Morrisons is the closest to me, and also they have the largest selection of ales and good ciders too. As well as a local stand selling local produce.

Just in case no-one has spotted it Cineworld have an Open Recruitment Event at the Park Inn this Saturday (10am-4pm).

That brings back many memories Tony ,i did scorch the prints ,and remember hearing the cries of put a shilling in the meter when the screen went blank

, i was always doing that .

As Fred says the Odeon , was one of the few with a back Projection Screen , it was a good job ,that very interesting ,i still remember the Chief Projectinist , but cant think of his name , happy days , maybe i could act as Advisor at Cineworld

, with Frank B as icecream seller.

Thats a dear doo you you though Matt.

That means it will cost you £29.85, and thats not including dessert !!

I'm not daft Snowy...I got two starters and a dessert! Have you ever thought of being a chef by the way? At least there won't be any worries of your hair falling in to the soup

Just seen on the website that 3 of the 4 Units to be used as restaurants are now sold, 'The Real China' look to have bought Units 1 & 2, never heard of them before this but after googling them, they actually look quite good.

One unit left, will it be a Nandos or wont it?!

Think they're waiting to see which players Leigh retain for next season before deciding to buy the unit.

[url=http://www.theloom.co.uk/news/unit-3-now-let-to-nandos/Nando's now confirmed![/url Should help our player recruitment no end. Bet Nanyn is proper gutted now!

Whats the difference between nandos and franky and bennys?.

Lots. Nandos is Portugese style chicken dishes. Franky and Bennys is American Diner style food.

Its very nice too!!!!

Frankie and Benny's is overpriced form what it is. Nando's is only good value once you've filled a loyalty card!!!

if you come in with me you get 20% off ha ha!

I'd rather go to the chicken counter at Tesco.

You can get decent food from one and the other has competitors who have drive-thro`s.

Franky and Bennys is a burger joint is it?.

Without the drive-thro.........

Not been John, but i have heard you can get a lot of different dishes, not just burgers, supposed to be nice as well i believe.

The Italian menu they do is very good they also have steaks etc.
