HIGH street WH Smith shops will be renamed TGJones after a £76 million buyout. Do you have an alternative name?
Carolyn Ryan, careers officer: “As a name, TGJones has exactly the kind of nondescript, don’t-know-why-it’s-even-here resentful drabness that suits the shops as they are. I approve.”
Donna Sheridan, kelp farmer: “I refer to it as ‘the place where money goes to die’ and I’ve forbidden my children from ever going in.”
Norman Steele, paramedic: “It’s on the high street? Then it should be called ‘vape shop that also sells unpleasant American candy’. I assume that’s its business model?”
Tom Logan, yurt erector: “It’s just the high street ones? They’re keeping the ones at train stations and airports? Thank f**k, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to pay £8.78 for a Coke and a bag of Quavers.”
Margaret Gerving, retired: “There’s still a high street? Why?”
