Underground gone to ground?

The rather funky Underground clothes and bags and Hello Kitty / Emily Dark things shop is advertising a closing down sale, which seems like a shame.

Leamington Changelog particularly admires their BOGOF rail, which is labelled "I say you buy one you get one free".

Old Town cashpoint

Lloyds/TSB closed its Victoria Terrace branch a good long while ago, but continued to maintain a cashpoint (ATM, hole in the wall, magic brick, etc.) until quite recently. The subsequent absence of a proper cashpoint South of the river has been a nuisance ever since -- driving those in need of cash to the railway station or to the pricey ATMs in pubs and corner shops.

Your Leamington Changelog team is delighted to observe that a new cashpoint has appeared at the old Lloyds/TSB location. As of Sunday morning the machine was not turned on, and displayed no branding to reveal who owns it. We will keep you informed of any developments.

Update: It's up and running, and sports a Lloyds TSB decal.

John Atkins Cycles

John Atkins Cycles is moving from its premises on High Street, to the larger premises on Clemens Street recently vacated by Exchange & Mart.

Think we're Stirling Moss do we sir?

The speed limit on The Parade and Bath Street has been reduced to 20MPH. It is, to quote the signs, a "20 Zone".
