If they are wanting to sell alcohol 24/7 then that is a different matter (though the Costcutter just down the road from the Co-Op sells alcohol all hours, and I've never noticed any kind of disruption in there late at night). ETA: The pdf that you attached to your first post says: Application to vary the hours of selling alcohol from Mon-Sat 07.00-23.00 to 06.00-23.00. No change for Sun. Application to apply for late night refreshment Mon-Sun 23.00-05.00. Opening 24 hrs a day. Also they are already selling alcohol till 11pm. The extension applied for is only from 6am to 7am. I have defended you on here thus far, but please get the facts right - after all, you posted them on here yourself!

Though I really can't understand the reason for their application to extend sales of alcohol to 6am!!! Why did Sainsbury's reduce their hours again after increasing them to 24/7? Presumably that was due to lack of custom? But in any case, surely the application won't be judged on whether the council thinks people will shop during the night or not?

Few minutes' walk to the Co-Op.

KalamityKel Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It would be more appropriate to actually > email/contact the licensing department act the > council not to email/contact James. > xxxxxxx But that is exactly what James has asked people to do in his original post in this thread! He gave the email address of the licensing department for people to do that. He just asked to be copied in - obviously you don't have to copy him in if you don't want to. ETA: So I really don't understand why you think he has been in any way misleading.

If you're in favour, please make sure you actually email the council to say so before the deadline! James gives the email address in the first post on this thread. Saying you want it on the forum isn't going to affect anything :)

Thanks Otta, unless I've missed it on their website they don't seem to provide stages?

bubbachumps Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I agree with James that the Coop would become a > destination shop during those hours, being the > only one of any size open in the near vicinity. xxxxxxx But isn't that the whole point, that it is a reasonable size? Places like Londis and CostCutter may be open 24/7, but they don't sell stuff that I'm likely to want. So as far as I'm concerned, smaller shops would not be losing my trade to the Co-Op. And the CostCutter nearest the Co-Op is licensed to sell alcohol past 11pm, so I don't see it losing much trade to the Co-Op in the evening.

Great idea in my opinion. Would the 24/7 include Sundays? Who is the "we" who have formally objected, James? I have emailed my support. The tiny increase in hours to sell alcohol seems neither here nor there really, unless you happen to be gagging for a drink at 6am .....

That's very annoying, but anything could have happened. I have learned from past experience always to get a seller's mobile number and confirm by phone or text before setting off that they will be in. Did she actually reply to your email confirming the time etc?

Pickle Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > Not sure how accessible it is by public transport > though, there might be buses that go that way, but > I'm not sure. xxxxxxx Train goes direct from ED to CP I believe, and CP station is just by the sports centre.

That is a big jump. What sort of actual numbers are we talking about? Not saying they are in this case, but percentages can be misleading. 50% of 2 is 1, for example ..... but it sounds a lot if you only know the percentage.

The customer reviews for the item give you this information I think? But you always have the option on Amazon of asking the supplier a question .....

Post boxes often have a little brass (?) plate stating when the next collection is. This is changed at each collection, so that if you go to post a letter you can tell if you have missed the collection. If there isn't one at Beauval Road, or if it is obviously giving a wrong day, then it's more likely the box is out of use. But I'm sure, as e-dealer says, that the box would be sealed up if it was not in use, for very obvious reasons .....

I'd expect burglaries to be up in January, because burglars will be trawling for new and expensive items bought for Christmas.

Thanks Rianoo, we are already looking into this option which was suggested in a PM by another forum member. Yes it's a good idea :)

Thanks chambers but we haven't got anything to decorate yet! We're on the case ....

Anybody else see a brilliant American Dad episode the other night about the Rapture? :))

Yeh the Incredible String Band knew what it was all about :) You shall have liberty It always was yours anyway .... :)
