Thumbs up Billaricey aquatics & reptiles - closing down!

If not in right place mod please move

seen a few interesting posts on here and thought you all might like to know it is bieng forced to close down aparently due to a £300+ increase per mnth on council tax.

They will still be trading under that line via a new online shop up and running in about a month though.

Huge discounts on everything by then on stock I'm toldi just hope the animals find better homes

Yep somthing to do with the landlord on that site, wonder what bob will do with the hordon site when these clear out.

Billiricy closing though has put a big smile on my face, if they worked a bit harder at being clean and well set up and reading and learning they could have easly overcome a 300 increase in rates (infact i bet thats little more then a poor excuse for being crap)..
