Cathidaw I share your opinion, the area round Woolies does let the town down a bit with cheap plywood sign propped up against walls and so forth. The library/multistory carpark/office block ruins a lovely view of St Mary's tower as well. The 1960's has a lot to answer for unfortunately! Oh and everytime I've been to Warwick Market the poor stall holders have been looking bored out of their brains, nothing seems to happen in the town at weekends. Thank you Cathi for a nice reply.
This is the last you will hear from me. I was considering registering and what a useful facility this could be, but looking at the other discussions on here and the snide remarks made, notably by two register users who seem to be totally lacking in humour (calm down Lex I don't mean you!) I would not wish my name to be associated with something that gives such a bad impression of Warwick! Any potential tourists reading this would avoid the place like the plague. Such a shame. Most forums would block users for personal attacks such as seem to be the norm here.

PS, Can I make the final assumption that you'll want to have the last word so you think you've won. ;-)

Miranda, I write this not because I want the last word, I hope it won't be, but because I assume I am one of the 'registered users.....totally lacking in humour'.
I too am truly sorry you are leaving and I agree with the others that we need everyone to debate fully. We will disagree, fall out but ultimately talk, ideas and discussions are so much better than war!
I perhaps am OTT sometimes. I have run a business in Warwick for 30 years; I have seen Warwick in the depths of despair and, now, on an upward track. I get very depressed when I see our local worthies making life as difficult as possible. And I get even more depressed when people run the place down. But I accept that it is horses for courses. Not everyone is going to like Warwick - or Kenilworth or Leamington. But we retailers have fought hard for what we have and I, for one, am very proud of what we have achieved - which perhaps makes me defensive - but, I hope, never offensive.
I hope I have not offended you. You input is as vital as everyone elses and I really hope that the last word is yours and that you will reconsider and come back to debate some more.
Best wishes.
PS - as for the lack of humour, I was told off at work today for laughing too much. Perhaps I'm not very good at putting it into my writing - sorry.
