Taking the P out of Partick

Postby retired tiger » Fri Jan 26, 2007 2:02 pm

Yes, good old Tesco are at it :twisted:

The old ticket office at the former Partick Central Station is under attack by a demolition company, even though Historic Scotland want it saved.

We now have an active group called S.T.O.P. (Stop Tesco Owning Partick) and if anybody wants details PM me

Call me a cynical bastard, but I foresee a "fire" in the not-too-distant future...

Fire. Don't be silly. It will just be accidentally damaged during adjacent Construction works. Piling usually.

Isn't it more usual to convert a building into an Indian retsaurant then set fire to it?

When the Heras Metal fence goes up that usually means what inside is coming down.

Tesco can be stopped, it has happened, see http://www.tescopoly.org/

What it needs is for people to get off their a*ses and join the protest groups. :evil:
