'm lucky enough to live within 1 mile of the store..... if i didn't have to drive all the way past it to a roundabout and come back (stupid road lay out)

You wouldn't be saying that if you were involved in a serious accident trying to turn across the dual carriageway.

What if there's no space to park?

very true as that stretch is 70..... still it must add 2 miles on and the roundabout has 3 sets of traffic lights!

You'll work it out when you get there.

There are about 12 customer parking spaces and it's an industrial estate so you'll find somewhere.

You will be able to find somewhere to park.

70 and then some :eek:

I thought it was 2 sets of lights.

One by the turning to carry on along the A34 and another by the Shell filling station.

i stand corrected (checked on street view)......

then again surely turning out of millennium way back on to the A34 is just as dangerous as crossing it would be?

At least you're accelerating away from the traffic instead of trying to cut across it.

Wait for a gap in the traffic and put your foot down.

I wish I lived near the store

My bank balance mightn't though

ca9phoenix · 29 Aug 2011 at 14:25

I walked there once, it was much further than i thought, i think i purchased a router and some cables..... they don't provide bags!

the helpful fellow behind the counter went and stole a carrier bag that someone had brought their lunch in!

i bet they don't get many walk in customers!

Rik1254 · 29 Aug 2011 at 14:26

Where do you get that from?

OcUK will only accept returns on shop bought items if unopened and within 7 days.

I thought it was apart of all purchases made no matter what item or what store (consumer rights and all that).

Ah, I remember you!

We have carrier bags now, branded and all that jazz.

I don't think they get as many as when they were in Fenton.

Whenever I've been to the new shop there have never been more than 2 or 3 customers in there.

At the old shop in Fenton sometimes they'd be queuing out of the door.

ca9phoenix · 29 Aug 2011 at 14:30

that little place in Fenton was like a sweat box when it got crowded!

Still does get busy out the door sometimes, we are much more efficient now though, as you see the stock goes behind us rather than in Fenton it used to go around the corner and the shop staff would have to run back and forth all of the time and used to take absolutely ages! Now, it is a lot quicker than it used to be.
