kerleytops Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 True. The old library was a good place to sit and read, the park was great, my boyfriend worked in Fine Fare, and I can't believe we took a whole day to shop there. And I'm beginning to wonder if the chip shop was called the Paragon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
