There’s Going To Be A New “River Island”

This is the old River Island store, soon to be shut.

If you’ve had the joy of walking along the High Street in the past couple of weeks, you’ll notice that there is a major construction project happening near the Lloyds Bank and opposite(ish) Boots.

THERE’S GOING TO BE A NEW RIVER ISLAND.

So, if you’re like me, and fancy spending £30 on a single shirt, then you’re in luck.

I tend to find it is the kind of shop I only want to go in once I’ve got some gift vouchers, but fortunately my family have cottoned onto this to the extent that one Christmas present is always a voucher for said shop.

At the moment in store there’s a lot of shirts with pictures of Amsterdam (through various Instagram filters) with the word “AMSTERDAM” emblazoned over the top of it in some hipster fonts, so if you’re a fan of that kind of thing, be my guest (I’m not, I have terrible fashion sense, I can basically just about pull together some colours as a “theme”…and that’s me being generous about my own abilities).

It also says outside the new store that they are “recruiting”, but they’re not, I did a search and there are no jobs available at all at the new store. SO IT’S ALL LIES.

I wanted to get a Saturday job so I could graduate with at least some level of money, but apparently they don’t want Fashion Supremo Richard Morris working for them.

As I went to hit “Schedule” on this post, I was made aware that in fact The Lincolnite, a more serious and boring news source, has already done a story on this, so if you want to be bored to death click here.
