What a 'Steals' in Chorley
A look at a Steals store in Chorley.
We had a nice walk around Chorley town centre yesterday evening and one of the interesting shops we spotted was Steals. It's got some superb signage.
![]() |
| What a shop front - that orange and black colour scheme has a really retro look to it |
I hadn't heard of Steals before but looking online it's a bargain clothes shop with branches in Blackpool, Preston, Accrington, Poulton-le-Fylde and Chorley.
The Steals store in Chorley opened on the site of a former Littlewoods Clearance store last year.

| What a sign |
Check out the Steals Facebook Page for more information.

There's no I in Christmas
Spotted in Cheadle.
I don't mind Christmas being shortened to Xmas, but I draw the line at this dropping of the 'i'.

Pizza Luigi takeaway in Blackpool
Spotting a Luigi's pizza takeaway in Blackpool.
On my recent trip to Blackpool I was surprised to see the Pizza Luigi takeaway on Dickson Road!

| Mmmm, Calzone |
I've seen a number of Mario takeaways, and another Mario's on Foxhall Road in the town that features both Mario and Luigi on the sign in the window. But this was the first where Luigi was on his own.
Interestingly, Pizza Luigi is opposite Mario's!

I've also seen a Mario mini market in Levenshulme, Mario and Luigi ice cream vans in Buxton and Hathersage, Mario movers in Newcastle and Mario's takeaway in Barnsley.
