I think we're up to double figures in Alloa town centre now, and none of them ever seem to close. You get the impression that some folk would rather not eat than miss having their skin sprayed with orange paint. Do the owners have a special washing machine that cleanses currency?

IrishBhoy Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 There used to be a spot you could stand on in Duke Street in Glasgow where you could see three Ladbrokes. One of them has closed down now but there is still two within about 400 yards of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 At one point Inverness had 8 bookies in a stretch of about a quarter of a mile, if that. The Ladbrokes across the road from Subway was the first to get the chop on account of being absolutely pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crroma Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Are there still any amusement arcades left?I went to Blackpool about 3 years ago and I was bracing myself for a traditional arcade or maybe even pinball parlour and its nothing but shitey claw machines and 2p balancing games for as far as the eye can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
