Everywhere's the same, now. Bigun's collating a mental list of places with more than one poudland. Sunderland is right up there. Hard to beat the gigantic one in the old Littlewoods store, with another one just a few steps down from the back entrance.

Rather have no shops, half of the units in Sunderland are empty anyway.

, that's some ambition, good on him, how is he doing?I like the massive one where Littlewoods used to be, shame we have one just down the road, i heard a rumour before Christmas, that the one, next to where WHS smiths used to be would close and the staff would move to the one in where Littlewoods is.

Glasgow is pretty much the same.
Two decent sized ones within metres of each other opposite Central Station.

Plans have gone in for new toilets at the Car Park Pier View/Marine Walk down the beach:
They look quite smart, hopefully if they go ahead, the council make sure they're kept clean! - http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/PlanDM/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=988545&PDF=true&content=obj.pdf

Road disruption in Pallion for new Wear crossing
More roadworks and traffic management are things Sunderland drivers face this morning.
From today a short section of European Way in Pallion will close for 4 weeks.
It's to allow work to continue on the new Wear Crossing.

Howay man, Michael.
If ever someone asks you if the new Wear Crossing is going to be called Bridge McBridgeface - the answer is always 'yes'.

A bold vision to transform the former Vaux site has moved another step closer to reality after eye-catching plans were given the green light.
Sunderland City Council approved the application for phase one of the development by Siglion, and work could start within months.

Had my first trip into Sunderland this weekend in an age.
Eye opener to say the least! Never seen so many charity and bargain shops on a main thoroughfare in a City before. Lots of empty units too. Everywhere was so quiet too. Felt like I was in some small town as opposed to a city

Yup it is, that's why i shop at the Metrocentre.
Should knock all the shops down and start again, disgrace as a city.
I blame the council

Yeah, I've thought Sunderland is starting to become pretty grim with all the closed down shops, although all the building works only add to that. The worst is the area around Joplings and Fawcett Street, it isn't pretty to begin with but the empty units only add to the misery. I still go to Sunderland for the hobby more than owt else as I quite like the Arriva 21/X21 route.
I like Middlesbrough for shopping, they have a good range of shops, actually prefer it to Metrocentre and I'm not a big fan of shopping in Newcastle as I don't think the range of shops is that great and if you are like me getting through Eldon Square is just a disaster waiting to happen.
