Default The Pier has gone into administration.

So if you want some previously overpriced, faux old, psuedo ethnic, studenty crap, you might get a bargain.
I hear the candles that stink and those sticks you put in a vase are going fast.

I was in their once with the ex and bumped into another bloke also being dragged around there by his GF.

He looked at me and said, without a hint of humour in his voice

"Shall we just end it now?"



BTW Credit to Russel Howard for the joke that inspired that one!

Take a look and make your own mind up...

Accessories for your home | The Pier

To those that have never been - buy yourself a lottery ticket, luck like that is great.

And congrats to T4molie!

Nah, they're all over.

Me and the mrs actually found one last week, conversation went:

Oh, didn't know there was a Pier here
So there is

And we kept on walking.

Obviously have her trained right now
