They built a tunnel, then levelled off the ground for the store and the car park, erected the basic steel structure for the store - and then, in June 2005, part of the tunnel collapsed - luckily no-one was injured. Since then construction works have ground to a halt. When I last visited GX in April, the steel construction was still there - an absolute eyesore &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_eek.gif&quot; title=&quot;8-O&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/103/305665300_c4b0929497.jpg?v=0">http://farm1.static.flickr.com/103/305665300_c4b0929497.jpg?v=0</a><br /> <br /> That´s what T does to little villages where no-one wanted it anyway :'( <br /> (and no Greggs or McD or Starbucks in sight! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; ) http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-shows-he-doesnt-know-everything#post-64957 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:07:06 +0000 JSKanga84 64957@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ As long as there are people in the world who look for unique/gourmet/authentic stuff, the big companies will never have a monopoly. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-shows-he-doesnt-know-everything#post-64914 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:15:01 +0000 amyl_nitrate 64914@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <br /> <br /> Ahh one day the only shops that will be left are Tesco, Starbucks and Greggs, I'm sure of it &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif&quot; title=&quot;;)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; (Although I rather like Tesco, I don't admit it often though for the fear of being lynched)</blockquote><br /> <br /> ...and not one of them I ever go in.
