I love Stretford Arndale. Well, i used to love Stretford Arndale.....
Before the Trafford Centre introduced the idea of infection free shopping to the area, everyone shopped at Stretford Arndale. It was the law. At its height in the 1980's Stretford Arndale boasted a rather impressive water feature, fish tanks that harboured life and a Stationary Box. These were happy times in my young and formative life, also a time when the number of oddballs were diluted by normal people. Alas these days are no more, Stretford Arndale is now the home of yobs, weirdos and a worrying number of people who aren't in possession of all their limbs (usually found in the sit down chippy by Sands). The water feature is now gone, the market is shut down and the fish tanks a long distant memory.
Today I went to Stretford Arndale and spotted a man that only Stretford Arndale could harbour. He was sitting outside the old Woolworths spraying shaving foam all over the place. Nobody batted an eyelid. To make matters worse you now have to pay to use the multi-storey car park. How dare they! The guy who came up to me and asked for 9p was the final straw.
So there you go my last visit to the mall....................
until next week :)
