All very confusing, I'm not sure what to make of it all!
So, last night we met in the church with (we hoped) representatives from the two major supermarkets interested in our area.
Except ASDA (Asshole) didn't feel like showing up and sharing their plans with us. Arrogant gits! Tesco at least had the decency to show up, even if they did have their lawyers present (allegedly). But in fairness to them, that might have been a defence tactic against a hostile crowd! 
The good people of NB are generally in favour of regeneration, but not by Tesco or ASDA. The local representatives (MP and councillors, all Tories), are against it completely. Kind of begs the question, how exactly would they regenerate the area?
As for the word "character" that popped up a number of times (that number being 2) - what bloody character?! The only character is the run down, falling to pieces look, which is what none of us want.
