Morrisons ended up taking a switch bait by going to the Competition Regulator. Asda lost the Birtley Netto (to the Co-Op) and Morrisons ended up with Birtley.

Homebase at Washington is earmarked for closure during Homebase property reduction plans, hence the fact when compared to other Homebase stores in the region (Team Valley for example) it hasn't had the rebrand or refresh.

Saying that it amuses me you still see flyers on lamposts for TEXAS DIY in Washington.

Heard about this on the radio last night and forgot to mention it.

This Saturday, sees a two hour film event at Biddick Comp (or whatever it is called these days).
The film shows Washington over the years, from archive material.
I think they said tickets were available from The Millennium Centre.

The Echo are reporting that City leisure facilities, including almost £12m worth in Washington, are to be outsourced to a private company.

Think they are only demolishing it as far as the Leisure Centre, either way it will have to be closed fully when the Leisure Centre is Demolished.

Oh right, so that'll not come down fully, what they could then is tidy it up.
