Ok, I will officially out myself as a former frequent user of the Old Bank Restaurant, lover of all things pretty looking, Guardian reading lefty snob with nothing better to do than worry about the aesthetics of our little HOP parade. There you have it. I'd love to see a nice restaurant or decent pub there.

And I'm happy to vote with my feet (or phone-dialling thumb if needs be) against a Domino's in that location. There are plenty of other fast food pizza joints to cater for my occasional dough cravings.

Yes, it's a free market and all, and yes, if the Domino's isn't getting enough custom, it'll be replaced by something else. But before that, they're likely to put up their ugly looking fascia and carpet-bomb the area with yet more pizza leaflets. No thanks.
