00:00 My name's Jean and my thoughts about where I was going really is really sad.
00:05 Because there's so many things I went in there for, like animal food, cat food and bird stuff,
00:12 that are bound to be more expensive in a pet shop.
00:16 And I suppose I'll have to try and look online or somewhere.
00:19 And then it's a lovely shop to walk around with lots of different things.
00:24 I really love the shop and the staff are lovely.
00:27 The thought of all those people out of a job is really sad.
00:31 I'm really ashamed that someone couldn't have saved a few of the shops at least.
00:37 When I come shopping every week for food, you know, go in a different food shop,
00:41 I always go through Wilco's first.
00:44 Because it's mostly things like animal food, cat food and so on.
00:48 I just love the shop. It's a great shop.
00:51 I'm shocked, you know, this is a very sad...
00:55 And these shops have been very helpful to the community.
01:00 Different things you can just go on the shelf and pick up.
01:04 So we lost a lot of good stores like WXP and CNA, you know, Debenhams.
01:15 So we're losing all the stores we are used to from the very young.
01:21 And we don't find the right stuff as we did from those stores.
01:25 So it's a very sad story. I think it's very sad.
01:28 I hope things will go better. So it's very sad to hear that.
