It's days like this when the rain is coming down that we bemoan the demise of Woolworths. Previously with ten minutes to kill before the bus arrived you could wander around the aisles in the store and peruse their wares even if you were not tempted to buy but since its closure the shop has stood empty and so it was straight down to the bus shelter.
It doesn't seem that long ago the the town had not only Woolworths but also Marks & Spencer and British Home Stores within yards of each other on Bath Street. Now it's mainly estate agents, banks, mobile phone and charity shops - a sad legacy of the yuppie culture of the eighties.
