“Good news to be honest, Maplins have a decent range of products.

A much larger range of electrical items, especially computer related, than the local shops (I include the likes of PCWorld etc) and staff that - in my experience - know what their talking about and give honest advice.

No offence intended towards other places, but these guys seem more .... 'in the know' about stuff.”

“Is Ted Bovis their leading sales man?”

“Chocolate oranges are avialable from Rawlinsons.”

“the SET are on the ball again. this was posted on VS nearly a month ago.”

“freds a tough boss. book early,”

“oh .......


I missed it first time around, anyone got a link to a time machine ?”

“Won't bother with any comments anymore. Just trying to be helpful.”

“I am once again puzzled as to why no comments by ksa brigade . Maplins could have quite easily moved into an empty shop in town! It seems they are only wanting M and S in Scunthorpe . Right what a joke . This court case is if it is successful will totally kill off all peoples shopping in and around town as everyone will continue to go to Sheffield, Meadowhall, Gainsborough etc ,as i shall . What a pity that a campain led by one individual because of his obsession may be responsible for not only stopping us getting no M and S but no Debenhams.!!! but meaning Scunthorpe will become a ghost town .!!!!!”

“My 2p worth (7.36p with inflation)

“Anyone heard owt about a bandstand been put in Cenny Park, some geezer reckons the council are gonna put one there”

“It's already there but the grass is so high it's hiding it.”

“Great news time we had a Maplins.”

“Good news, but it'll simply be another store that people won't spend any money in...”

“Old news”
