    About time too. Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea how many staff will be employed there? Just as a matter of interest.

    I'd the laziest Xmas shop ever last year. Looked up the catalogue, drove to Longford & bought everything in one go. OK, it was a 3 hr drive, but it beat endless hours of trawling shops & going home with feck all. :o

    There will be 4 or 5 management, then up to around 10 weekday staff, several weekend only staff and possibly up to 5 delivery assistants.
