Dear Editors, Given the adverse effect on towns like
Sheringham from hypermarts like Tesco, I shall be sorry to see this 25,000sq feet eyesore
erected on the land now occupied by Lockerbie tenants and the easy-access Community
Centre. As a young person, I am equally sorry to see how some shortsighted ''adults'' are
taken in by propaganda from this multinational corporation, even when it is blatant
nonsense. For example, Tesco claims to be building ''inside the town centre.'' Now that
may be the phrase their commercial strategists, who do not know, or care, much about
Sheringham except as an operational base, used to satisfy council officials, but the
Cromer Road is NOT INSIDE the ''town centre'' as normal people understand this term. I am
also sorry to see some Tescovites call the small traders ''lazy''. They work harder hours
for our benefit than superstore bosses whose personal salaries exceed £2 million a year.
What about ''lazy'' customers whose shopping consists of filling the car-boot and freezer
every fortnight after wandering like zombies around a supermarket? A good balance exists
between Sheringham's cluster of diverse shops and the supermarkets available, if needed,
at Cromer and Holt. Only a few greedy, selfish and impatient car-owners want to spoil
forever the unique charm of this historic town by importing a Tesco Shed into its
vicinity.
Think again, and say No Thanks.

Previously we told you about a possible Friday night event
for under 18's, well it's happening. Friday 22nd August at the Sheringham Community
Centre. Top DJ's from Time Nightclub, Norwich. Banging tunes to keep all wannabe clubbers
on the dancefloor. A bass heavy sound system, smart lighting, and an excellent place to
show you're not just a pretty face.
People who have been clubbers in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Ibiza are making every
effort to give you lot something you've been asking for year on year. What's the point of
hanging about down town when the rest of your mates are going to be shaking their booty
and eyeing up the talent at the SNAP Dance.
You'll have all day to get the gear looking right, make sure the lip gloss isn't going
anywhere and get together.
Door opens 7.30pm. Last tune finishes 11pm. Don't miss it. There's a160 capacity, let's
make sure there's enough there to get a mosh pit going!
Tickets in advance £2.50 available from YESU on the High Street and our office, Waterbank
House, Station Approach (opposite the tourist information office). Tickets on the door
£3.50. No Alcohol. No Drugs. No Cigarettes. No over 40's.
For more information look out for posters. |

Until I am measured I am not known, yet how you miss me when I have flown.

I am trying to trace Miss Wilson, the previous owner
of Hilbre School on Holway Road. Can you help?
