I think I've mentioned this before, but if you're in the new library, beware the hungry machine robot things.

We often go for a Starbucks  On another note, Swindon needs something like 'The Brewery' in Cheltenham (restaurants and bars in one complex) - I think the old Renault building would be a great location, easily accessible and create plenty of new jobs too rather than the building being dormant and wasted. It's a warehouse, really dark inside. Not somewhere I'd like to eat. |

Oh and +1 for the library, I went in the West Swindon one a couple of times the other week when we had our summer and pondered at what a fantastic use of my council tax it is. Plus it is air conditioned which is bliss in the heat.
I've not been in the new one, I must sometime.

I think they should turn the Renault building into a Borders. Or a Zara.

Half true. There's a dvd production and packing business in the back half. http://www.ods.com/gb/index.html |

That makes more sense, I always thought it would be too big for a car dealer.
It should still be a Zara though.

I thought that had gone tits up.
Not by the size of the queue of cheap foreign labour who line up at the bus stop every evening. I think it went in admin and is now being run by the administrators. Or sold on. Possibly. Please note that ODS Business Services Limited was placed into Administration on 15 April 2008 and Martha H Thompson and Antony D Nygate of BDO Stoy Hayward LLP, Kings Wharf, 20-30 Kings Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 3EX were appointed Joint Administrators.
The Joint Administrators are agents of the company and act without personal liability. They have not personally adopted any contract you may have had with the company, nor can they be deemed to have done so. |
