Heh, "...an A4 notice of closure (with few details) on the door, the absence of staff, and unopened post on the floor,.." looks pretty conclusive to me. I surveyed my local branch and found similar so have changed it to disused.
I like the method of flipping shop, name, brand with a 'disused:' prefix as it would be reversible en masses, or for a single anomaly. Recently, all Jamie's Italian branches closed...except the one in Gatwick Airport. Which was a surprise. Now, Thomas Cook shops may be bought by a competitor and probably rebranded. But right now they are disused. Personally, now that closure has been confirmed by survey I would like to see all the branches changed programmatically. - Jez On Wed, 9 Oct 2019, 13:04 SK53, <[email protected]> wrote: > I went to check one which is a few hundred metres off my normal route to > the supermarket.
