Nobody bought Fletcher Jones

I’m impressed that an area which can be quite grotty and off-putting when you’re actually there can be made to look so fresh, and shiny and appealingly Mediterranean in a pic – and yet no one was sucked in by it.

You Are Here would be FANTASTIC but I’ll be happy as long as it’s not another McDonalds/

I still remember going in there with my Dad when I was a kid around the late 70s sometime and watching him being fitted up for a new suit. It was awesomely grown up and serious mens business.

I think he still has the suit too. 🙂

And so this closes another chapter in the history of Canberra…

I fear to make this inquiry but will it be replace with another Scottish Restaurant?

Are the mannequins still in there, with their strangely bereft bottoms?

nobody said :

No I didn’t.

Hahahaha

That’s a good thing. Imagine if you had bought it, the headline could have/of been “Somebody bought Fletcher Jones” and thus completely false…

No I didn’t.

Surprised that the Snow family didn’t snap it up. After all it is their heritage site, rather than the airport – Snow’s Manchester and haberdashery etc. I used to love the spring loaded cash/ receipt system – wires strung out across the store with capsules whizzing along them. Far more exciting than J B Youngs, a few doors up, near Leo’s cafe and Ally Nish’s sports store.
