I work in Halesowen. Makro certainly is the best thing about it but Costco is better anyway.

Costco wasn't around in my Makro days (1980s). Now they've got that too, it is surely the mecca of cash and carrydom.

I haven't been to Makro for a while, I used to buy cheap Superbok and bin bags there. Come to think of it, I bought an exercise bike as well. A most useful purchase, you can hang all sorts of stuff on the handlebars.

As for the £2 surcharge being "under review", I'd imagine the impact on sales at Villa Store is a key factor.

I repeat - the £2 charge is under review.

Great news!

I meant the Costco in Star City being better. But Halesowen does have two rather nifty Pound Shops. Although I think one undercuts the other and is in fact a 99p Shop. I got 3 only slightly dusty Cadbury Dairy Milks in one of them recently.

Which one, did you pay 99p or £1.00?

The Pound shop in Kenilworth closed down when they opened a 99p shop.

Dancers is still open in the town centre, one of the rare shops that can genuinely be described as a "gents outfitters".

That 99p shop will be in trouble when a 98p shop opens in the town.

I'd swear that there used to be a 98p shop in The Pallisades
