ditchman Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Acle in Norfolk The co-op....closed.....it then moved further down the road and took over Budgeons (which is a much bigger shop)...............then they put in for planning to repurpose their old shop into a funeral home.............. opposite the now funeral parlour is a cafe......the owners of which put in a complaint that said their takings would go down as on Mondays weds' and friday they had a breakfast club for the old infirmed and ancient.....and they dont want to be looking at and reminded of death when eating their bacon &eggs........................ to top it all off their is a funeral parlour across the road (not 30 yards away)..that has been there since god was a boy.............. i think that is very unfair....i know what will happen....the co-op will drop their prices and force the other buisness out...............im surprised the parish council allowed it............ rant over comment if you want...........

wymberley Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Can't quite remember. Was there a local outfit called Bugdens (not perhaps Budgens) Sprowston (Norwich) way - stack it up and sell it cheap - that put in a planning application for a larger store a couple of hundred yards away and as soon as it was done and dusted it magically changed into Tesco or the like?
