Yes ! What fantastic publicity for MIA just when we thought it had all gone quiet !  At least it has opened up a further debate.   Now why didn't I think of that ? Well at least you can all be assured in the fact that we have some fantastic PR people on the MIA team

I see in today's Stockport Express that MIA have been asked by the council to remove the banner on Dan Bank following complaints.

Not sure apart from the vans how much extra traffic it would bring seeings as there are Asdas in Hazel Grove and 2 in Stockport. But I'm sure the people involved in both campaigns have much more info on this than me.

Also, not that I know that's your main concern, but asda's current expension model does not seem to be for huge hulking superstores.
