    you haven't missed anything, just heard the confirmation today that we're off to Galway in the fall, but before Argos opens. (which in fairness will probably be more like early December than October... they'll push it through in time for Christmas but that's all the faith I have!)

    ...I've lived in Sligo 10 months and I've never been to Cleveragh!

    Mr Xiney's got a job in Galway, so we're giving up the life of living on one minimum wage income (do the math people. No fun)

    It wouldn't make any sense for them to be right beside HomeBase, they are owned by the same group. If people buy something in Homebase they might decide to get something in Argos and vice-versa. If they were beside each other people might panic a little bit, not willing to go from one shop into another. The perfect solution would be to split them up, and let the customer decide where to go. It's a win-win scenario for them anyhow, they provide, you buy.

    Yes but Cleveragh would be perfect!

    If by the one on the Galway Road you mean Carraroe, its not a couple of miles out! It is just outside the town boundary, but it's not miles! (I work there, so I'm sure I would have noticed ;) )

    Well, it is about two miles from the town centre... and in a decidedly inconvenient position for those of us who don't drive :P

    Hmmm, 2km maybe. But yeah, it is awkward for those who don't drive. I used walk to work from Glenncarraig every day, but I wouldn't walk it with bags of shopping.

    In fairness, I work in kilometers and I don't have a very good concept of what a mile is...

    I just measured it in google maps. It's actually just under a mile from the hyde bridge. Still! It's uphill.

    It's a fair bit more than a mile.

    Would be very suprised if it was Cleveragh. Argos already turned down a chance to go into the Cleveragh retail park a few years back because they felt the units available were not big enough. Carraroe retail park is the one that Argos always wanted to get into before the chamber of commerce put the knockers on it.

    And if you notice after all this time one unit in Carraroe still remains empty, coincidence?
