The wife will be made redundant as of this weekend due to Comet (opposite McD's) in Trowbridge closing its doors :( :(

So their is 50 % or more discount on the remaining stock :o

Same goes for the Chippenham store :o

Sad news as the trowbridge store has been open only 2 & a bit years :'(

Bad news mate, horrible time if year to be looking for a job too.... Dunno what the story with Comet is, they have always seemed to struggle in that marketplace, compared to currys.

It's just across the carpark been there for quite a while now.

They built a new building for it.

The old Focus is B&M/Home Bargains/something similar.

Indeed, Chav-shops as I like to call them! ;) (not meaning you have to be a chav to shop there, just saying that most of their customers are Chavs... not all, just most!)

Just picked up a decent Hoover, 50% off, for the office, an absolute steal. I asked the chap serving if they got staff discount on top of the 50% sale and he said come had abolished staff discount a couple weeks ago. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat staff from what I've read and heard :/

Almost snapped up a MacBook Air that I can neither afford nor need, but apple kit was only 20% off not 50%

A KFC would lift Chippenham from the cess pit of ****test town in the country, to the heady heights of ****test town in the south.

Ye I bought one today too James. 50% was a good deal - we needed a new one anyway and that's my wife's main Christmas pressie purchased. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Served by a beautiful lady married to a chap called Simon – hope I didn’t get you in to trouble and thanks for the tip Simon. :-[

having recently moved to trowbridge do I take it from these most excellent reviews that I have infact moved into the boil on the bum of humanity or a very nice town to extend ones roots. In fact ;D or :'( in a nutshell?

I moved to Trowbridge after growing up in Swindon for my first 16 years.
I have lived in Westbury and Melksham (for short bursts) and of all the places Ive lived Trowbridge has to beat the top of the list to be honest :) :)

Trowbridge the County town of Wiltshire. Can some explain why the area STD is 01225 & Post code BA. Same as Bath which is a different county Avon / Somerset
