Was in Cork last week and in M&S the cashier must have thought I was mad with 2 baskets full of cookies and teacakes to beat the band!!!

Wish theyd hurry on and build 1!!!

Their Tuna is epic too.

John west is muck compared to it

Don't waste your time going to Clonmel. Joke of a shop

mike65 · 06-09-2010 8:09pm

At least they have one, small as it is. What is it about Wateford that keeps so many away? Easons, M&S, Brown Thomas Group, Debenhams only here due to Roaches takeover, Maplin, Dorothy Perkins, and so on.

Maplin would go down a treat! No decent electronics stores at all in Waterford.

Waterford has a long history of companys closing due to strikes. Was told this by a senior person from a department store, Unions are to strong here.

M+S clonmel got two years rent free. Id be surprised if they stay longer than that.

Can you name even one department store that closed due to a strike?

Were they refused planning permission because they did'nt want to be in the city center? I seem to recall hearing that somewhere before.

I cant, im just saying what i was told.

By a senior person from a department store. Hardly unbiased when it comes to the people stopping them screwing employees.

Is there anything going to be done with that place at all. It's a proper waste!

ziedth · 08-09-2010 7:46am

^ I don't think there can be without great expense, something with the design of the place being wrong on the inside or sonething. It's a real waste alright.

Is that the place thats all facing the wrong way?

ziedth · 08-09-2010 12:41pm

It must be the same ya,

Crazy when you think about it.

Flyin Irishman · 08-09-2010 1:27pm

heard a rumour that they were in the running for the new center in ferrybank, until they were beaten by Dunnes, who pulled out after construction! Rumour had it that Dunnes were never intending on going in there, but just wanted to keep M&S out. Cant back it up with facts (or pics as tinternet so often requests), pure rumour and speculation but food for thought
