Sorry, but comments on this topic are now closed – until people can grow up and stop pretending to be other people.

Sadly there was no help for this once thriving business, only the leeches that helped to get the place closed down! Yes it looks scruffy but please take consideration for the owner who lost EVERYTHING when they lost their business. Im sure in time when they come to terms with the fact that they have lost their business and whole lifes savings they will muster up the energy to tidy the place.
Show a bit of compassion!!

I have used the shop in question and I think it has a place in Ramsbottom! We all like a bargain and if it brings income into the town all well and good.

Maybe if the owners /proprietors read this they as a good will gesture would change the sign for something a bit more in keeping with the town, at the end of the day the town needs businesses to thrive and the businesses need the community to support them!

The Christmas Bargain store is getting beyond a joke now. I thought the council were strict on what you could do in a conservation area. I’ve a good mind to take the sign down myself. Not to mention contacting the truant officer about its absent scruffy proprietors. The back yard is also a health hazard. Who owns this place? They want shooting!

Sorry LM, its still there! Was worried that you had some inside information; I think my money is safe!

I reckon your gonna loose that bet, my monies on tomorrow ;)

The sign and decorations are still up at the Xmas Bargain Store! We are having a sweepstake in our office as to when they might be bothered to take the eyesore down. My money is on Easter – anyone want to join in?

I walked past the shop yesterday and saw a young boy, there was also two girls from woodhey high school there, I was going to call in but the door was locked and they were eating some sandwiches !!!!!
They were clearly not interested in my custom

The Christmas Shop is an absolute eyesore. It seems to be run by two scruffy teenage boys (who should be at school if you ask me), looks more like a pocket money making scheme. At least the Bargain Shop in Ramsbottom will have Public Liability Insurance – does the Christmas Shop?? Inside the stock looks cheap and tacky probably bought from the Poundshop in Bury and prices hiked up! I personally would not touch it with a bargepole – the sign is probably illegal and looks dreadful, its probably worth more than the stock!! So much for conservation.

That sign must be illegal! The shop is a disgrace and the landlord who rented them the space obviously has no interest in keeping the caracter of Ramsbottom
