I heard from a friend of mine today that the long established B&O York store will close on Wednesday this week. Depressing times for franchisees eh? Wonder where my account will move to now? Im a bad panny..... Roundhay closed last year too. The Yorkshire dealer who gets me as a customer next will possibly be gone inside a year too. YORK...R.I.P. Then again, it wasnt the same after Richard left.
Demise of B&O York?
Was it Genesis who sang...Go West Young Man....??
👍
Honestly, it's like watching swine flu spreading.. Sad times... 🙁

I think it was the Pet Shop Boys that murdered that one by the way.. 😛

But wasn't swine flu both exaggerated and lasted for a short period of time?
Mind you, losing the one and only store in a city such as York is rather surprising. Mind you, still don't know how B&O of Yarm survives.

Pet Shops Boys??...................Pet Shop Boys!!!??? The song you refer to is Go West, which was a cover of the Village People track!
KingStreet is indeed correct "Go West young man", is a line from "Deep in the Motherlode" from the album "And then there were Three", by Genesis.
Pet Shop Boys!!!??? 😂
As I remember, the York store was just outside of the city centre and one of those you had to know was there - it wasn't on a visitor/shopper route - I wonder if it's these type of stores especially that are suffering.
Puncher - that is correct !!!
In fact, I should have remembered more clearly, as that was the first Genesis LP I bought - with my milk round money. 😎
Obviously went on to get the other's - via Duke, then off to the "hard-core" Gabriel stuff from the seventies.
Deep in the motherlode.....very apt for this thread....
@ Lee - your "street cred" slipped a bit there pal !!! , in fairness, many songs have similar lines, I know......but, you've been round some Manchester pubs with me 😮 where quoting Genesis songs would be frowned at - but reciting Pet Shop Boys lyrics would result in much sorrow !! Mind you, just round the corner, there are many pubs where you would get a standing ovation !😕
(please note - for me, nothing wrong with the P.S.B's , before i get any aggro, an old friend of mind thinks they rule the world, just not my thing - no guitars!! )
Pet shop boys????? what the heck? ........not playing on my S9000/Lab9s thank you! But yes..... might have to venture through the fog of the Pennines to find another dealer as Im not keen on B&O Leeds.
How about...erm....B&O of Skipton? :) Looking online, there appears to be a B&O representative in the small town of Skipton - not far from you? Ever visited that store?
There's always Harrogate - weren't Harrogate and York owned by the same people?
