    There's a Sasha beside where I work and I think the girls in there have suspected something has been up for a while. Even before Christmas they were saying that the trade has totally fallen off. TBH, I'd say that most of the shops will pull out of that particular shopping centre.

    I am really sorry to hear that, their coffee was nice (if expensive) and they made a really great foccacia...not to mention the fact that the staff there have always been lovely.

    I must admit though that it has been ages since we ate there - while we might grab a sambo out one day a week we would rather save our money at the end of the day.

    Not consistent enough though, it can vary greatly from branch to branch.

    In Galway pretty much any music shop that isn't a Zhivago or HMV has closed down in recent months. Red Light Records, Golden Discs. These are all being replaced by shoddy "Liquidation" stores.

    Re battatts, The owners tried to secure a new arrangement with it's landlords and creditors in relation to it's debts, but was unsuccessful. The parent company, stylo has now gone into administration. store continues to trade.

    Ladybird was still open at the Crescent in Limerick last week when I was out there. the name has been bought by the owners of littlewoods , who will relaunch both woolworths and ladybird as online businesses.
