Puzzle Corner

From where I'm typing this, I can see a Tesco Extra, a B&Q and a Vue cinema. But I'm not at Westwood Cross. Where on earth am I?

Um, I don't think you've quite got the hang of this one, 7:21pm.

I think you must have taken off from Manston and were on a pleasure trip flying all over Kent.

I was sitting in Romford, in fact. Surprisingly, given that I said I was in Romford. And it struck me that this is what the vision is for Westwood. Romford-on-Sea. Or Bracknell-on-Sea. Or Pick-Any-Ghastly-Dump-in-the-South-East-on-Sea.

Oh dear. I think after several pints of the excellent Doom Bar, shipped in from the other tip of England (or 'Cornwall' as they insist on calling it down there) my prejudices are showing!

Don't worry the Thanet Beer Festival is coming soon - you won't need to stay in Romford

Slagging off Westwood X is so yesterday.

Some would argue Westwood X is 'so yesterday', 1:16pm.

Certainly it'll be history if the recession continues to hit retail parks as it has in the last year or so. Maybe, once that happens, we could start a campaign to turn it into a 'heritage' retail park!

Yeah! Slagging off Manston is where it's at cat.

Richard Eastcliff said...

Yep - got that right! It's eminently slag-offable!

there is an out of town shopping/entertainment centre, a la westwood x, in Basildon.

It is locally known as "Bas Vegas".
