Quote Kermit8 at 17 Aug 2015 9.56am Visited the place after a fourteen year sabbatical last week. Not much has changed re:the soulless atmosphere and peeps shopping like hypnotised morons, apart from being scruffier, but it appears with all the building work going on that is it going to be, according to the Council leader anyway, a new, hip and innovative 'city' which will attract the creatives and entrepreneurial professionals like bees to honey. Yes, indeed. Building new tall buildings, shops and offices is just what the place has been crying out for. We have been saying that since the 70's. Good luck with that Mr Council Leader, sir. Can we have our lovely Allders back first though? That was tough walking past its frontage a few days back. The very epicentre of the town and what is it now? Some kind of mass, cheap indoor market? S'alright though. Everything is cool. They are bringing in shipping containers next to East Croydon to house small businesses. Think I might move back. Where as Jock land is an utter Rembrandt. (the habitable bits anyway.) "It's not the bullet that's got my name on it that concerns me; it's all them other ones flyin' around marked 'To Whom It May Concern.'"
