View from ASDA cafe of the new Asda supermarket in Shirley Parkgate Shopping Centre.
Off the Stratford Road.
Looks massive. The cafe itself is ok.
George (clothing) is on the right.
For the most part Boston, Lincolnshire, still looks as an English provincial town should. In twenty minutes you can walk out of it into green fields, sodden now at the end of winter. There is no high-rise and the roofline is broken only by the towers and spires of each community's parish church, all deferring to the great mother church of the town, St Botolph, whose tower directs the eyes and, one hopes, thoughts of the townsfolk upward. Like everything, properly understood, it is a symbol.
So what, allegorically speaking, are we to make of this vile white box, thrown down with such violence and such indifference to its surroundings? There is a kind of hubris in it and it is the measure of how far we have gone that one has to make excuses for one's use of religious vocabulary; but what it amounts to is an assault upon God by Mammon, an attempt to establish a rival order. And why do we object so little? In the long run I think Aldous Huxley was more on target than George Orwell. There is no need to crush the human spirit with tyranny when you can kill it with kindness. Let human beings sell their souls for Pot Noodles, sliced bread and Radox Invigorating Apricot Bath Scrub (to use a random example from among the unguents in the Bentos bathroom). Give them, not health, safety and security, but Health and Safety and Security. Give them the Soma of television, that they might smile away their leisure hours watching attractive coloured images of things that give delight and hurt not. It's all so much easier and more efficient if you can get people to acquiesce in their own enslavement. Nobody'll cause trouble, apart from a few malcontents who can be dismissed as cranks...
Shoppers receive tokens to vote for local charities to receive a share of the store's monthly charity donation.
For many years, Renown have operated the free bus service to the ASDA store in Hollingbury. Traditionally, Dennis Darts have been used but today, 7th February, 2017, Volvo B10M-62 Berkhof Axial AFZ 3857 was seen in Rottingdean on its way to the store. AFZ had been new to Hodge, Sandhurst, in 1999 as 6967 PH.
ASDA delivery vans: So like me, you might expect that these vans to be parked in a secure location within a fenced off compound next to the store? Wrong, parked in a very accessible, but secluded open car park at the back of ASDA in Long Eaton, combined with easy get-away across waste ground for wannabe local vandals and the criminal fraternity. Need I say more!

1/2/13. Here is the inside of Blackwood's newest ASDA RIDER which is a Volvo B10M. It doubles up as a school bus on weeknoghts also as it is seat belt fitted.

Phoenix Buses of Blyth's 'ASDA Rider' branded Optare Solo is pictured refueling (at Morrisons!) on Shields Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, on March 29th 2012. It was new to Flagfinders of Braintree during December 2007.
FH67 RBY is a regional spare we collected from Crawley to cover some off road vans, whilst I had YJ16 ADC picked up from Brighton Marina, part of the South Coast division so therefore non standard for our region of East London and Kent. The latter is awaiting disposal but expected to be with Hastings until January.
