Just heard that Poundstretcher in Boucher Road got firebombed last night, with some structural damage to the Cotwolds next door, understand that they are closed today but due to re-open tomorrow.

They are lucky they store the gas canasters over on the other side of the shop, that lot could have made a fair old bang..

Anyhow, could be some smoke damaged kit coming up for sale soon...

We're heartless, but that's exactly what I thought when I heard about it.

Sounds like a good news / bad news situation. Anyone heard from our Cotswold mole?

Ahh just like the old days of NI people seeing the best in a bad situation.  Is there a single person over the age of 30 that didn't have the same thought!

I was actually passing Boucher today whilst out on business and thought would stop in.  You guys are still closed though :(  I was really surprised at how badly gutted Poundstretcher is, its a wonder the whole retail park didnt go up!  Looks like it will take more than some duct tape to repair that one...

Sale kicked off just after lunch. People were going crazy - I suspect some serious impulse buying went on!

Myself included......

Any updates on this?  Particularly interested to know from anyone who pays a visit this afternoon. Is it worth going tomorrow morning?
