Parking at the Metrocentre

[GeorgeH]

The mrs is wanting a trip over to the Metrocentre tomorrow. I was wondering if the car parking is secure... as it once had a bit of a reputation for getting your car nicked.
What do you reckon folks...?

I know someone who had a Golf GTI nicked one night when they were at the pictures, but that was about 10 years ago. I haven't heard about any trouble, I park there and have never considered it to be a security risk. Do people still nick cars these days?

Safer than most Cumbrian towns....probably

The car parks were overflowing today with the side road to Costco being "full" as well. You'd best get there early.

 

[GeorgeH]

Early start it is then.....

And make sure you dont try to leave around 5pm... Had the misfortune of having to pick the bairn up from there today at 5 and it was mental... grid lock on on the metro ring road and in the yellow carpark.. I normally try to avoid the metro centre at this time of year as no saving is worth the grief and today just reminded me why I thought that.

Well I survived it, 200 mile round trip and 4 hours wandering but I did get a good deal....a £1 radiator bleed valve...in brass

I await the ride report.

 

[GeorgeH]

I await the ride report.

I'm not sure you would want to read that I slept for most of the car journey (I'm accused of snoring on the A69) and sat outside shops reading the newspaper....I could post a pic of the bleed valve if it helps...

Reading after the event, there is alcohol available within establishments, although you seem pleased with your purchase

Here you go Rob....my purchase being guarded by the fearsome Scamp...
