Hey, CrustyCrack (you can get some ointment for that from Boots).
The shop at 55a isn't gonna be a Tesco Express - it's soon to be opening as a coffee/sandwich/cake shop.
Back onto the main topic though, it occurs to me that Weatherspoons' closing offers the potential to increase footfall away from that one huge location and to create opportunity for many of Forest Hill's other bars & eateries to CAPITOLise.
