Just a heads up to save anyone else doing a 70 mile round trip.

Understand they are relocating their stock from Bodmin to Plymouth, nothing on their website hence wasted journey yesterday!

From speaking to the Gul shop here in Falmouth I understand it's more to do with Gul closing the clothing side of their business & not renting/leasing out the premises to GW.

Have looked on website this morning, Bodmin no longer listed.

4 shops in total, including St.Austell.
Restructuring apparently.

Me too was not even anything worth looting in there if a riot did break out in Bodmin, well there where some £9.99 helmets that would make good plant pots if the where 99p

well the poor chap i spoke to a week ago will be pissed off, he was talking about how when they got the new lease for bodmin they were going to expand to the size of swindon, oops!! ;) glad i got my gloves that weekend then hehehehehehe!

I believe they were going to merge the 2 stores into 1 and all at Bodmin with the lease a done deal, something's changed somewhere and it will now be interesting to see what happens in this area!!!!

I'm sure there'll be the odd person glad to see the "competition" go .......

So whats so odd about Deej then

OI leave me out of this, im sad to see them go as where are all the kids going to get their scooters from now ?

think it must be as i bought my bike from damerells on friday and not george white haha, was all abit sudden though!

Sorry to drag up a slightly older topic, but went in to St Austell today to see GT had gone!

By chance, does anyone know if the 5 year service plan that we took out with GT would be valid with George White in Plymouth?

i'd give a plymouth a call and find out, did you take the care package out on finance if so ring them upto as they will be able to offer you correct advice

Shock horror another shop dies in Bodmin..they will probaly fill the unit with charity shops and hair dressers as thats all we seem to get. althou im glad Weatherspoons and Lidls are now here as it makes it easier to no where all the crims and scroungers are on a daily basis.
