Thanks, Snazy, you reminded me - it's a shame that they have got rid of the concessions. They even used to have a post office (which, in its time, forced the one on the street opposite to close, contributing to the dereliction of that little parade of shops) which was very useful. I used the Thomas Cook, Vodaphone and the Blockbuster shops regularly.

I hope that there will be some useful shops on the island site, and can't wait until they get to work there - mostly because they will then get around to fixing the truly appalling state of the road (which I presume will be included a s.106 agreement).[/b]
