I used to visit Sandys years ago (both branches) before it became the conveyor belt (a high quality one, mind) that it ended up being. I had a punt with a girl who told me they were going to open a 3rd branch in Oldham and she was pretty adamant about it.......never happened.
Why would she say that? Who knows? It might have actually been planned and not executed? The point being, I don't doubt what you are saying GG and appreciate you are trying to pass on some intel and an early heads-up, but it's the source that's doubtful here, in my experience.
I would treat it as "small talk" and maybe a possibility, unless it actually happens. I'm certainly not putting you down here (I have no grounds to) and I appreciate what your intentions were, to share info on a forum, which is what it's all about.
Now make everyone bloody happy and do those bloody reviews lol
And I will stop being a lazy bugger and catch up with mine!
