Comet Trowvegas

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 :'(

Sorry to hear about the missus losing her job. Fingers crossed she gets a better one very soon :)

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.

Yet another retail premises empty.

Good place for a cinema though innit? ;)

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!)

;)

Sorry to hear about your wife and all the other staff losing their jobs

They have one, first week or so of its opening some customers went down with food poisoning.
I wouldn't eat that siht even if it was free ;D

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.

Don't be silly Trowbridge has both of those titles ;D

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. :-[

Very good idea, written that one down for future reference! ;)

Mucky D's and a KFC. I didn't know you could fit so much C*ap into such a small area

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 love trowbridge personally, and lots of greta new things to come in 2013 - cinema, nandos, prezzo! I don't think it's any worse than any other town

Having just settled there I really like it too. Much cleaner than many places I have lived.

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 :) :)

20,000 Poles can't be wrong ;D

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
