| Ive seen that the Costa is now open with drive thru as I pass it each morning and evening. I will get a picture tomorrow but I have edited the page explaining reopening. Thanks. [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User talk:NOAH1|talk]]) 15:23, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

| : Hey Noah,
| |
| : Thanks for the update. I was unsure whether the Costa had reopened but knew the InstaVolt EVCPs have now gone live.

| ==Big Fish==
| |
| Sorry, didn't say or update but the Big Fish was open since late June. I do go past an awful lot, and even sat in the McDonald's opposite for 3 hours without updating it. Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|talk]]) 17:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

|
| |
| : No worries. I happened to spot it on Facebook.

| Thanks for tidying my edits and introducing me to more information.

| Do you also have any more information or photos about who and why closed the Billingham Little Chef? Thanks again! [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|talk]]) 19:06, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| : Hey Noah,
| |
| : No problem. Bilingham Little Chef closed due to the increasing competition surrounding it at Wynyard Park and would've been deemed to have been an unprofitable site by the owners at the time.
| |
| : The only image I have seen of the Billingham branch is [https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/local-news/dont-park-here-3788892 here].

| Thank you. I remember hearing of that scandal. Do you know why it was demolished for KFC and not converted? [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|talk]]) 19:19, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| : I can only imagine it was down to the building not being to the correct design for KFC. It could've also been down to difficulties trying to wrap the drive-thru lane around the existing building, with demolition being the easiest option.

| |
| Just a question, when a page refers to the term "rebuilt", does it mean demolished and a new building built or does it mean changed on the inside? Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|message wall]]) 17:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| : Hi Noah,
| |
| : We tend to use the term ‘rebuilt’ to describe a site when it has been fully demolished and replaced with new structures and buildings, with the term ‘refurbished’ used to describe an internal change.
| |
| : Hope this helps clarify things for you.

| ==R1==
| |
| Congrats on being on Radio 1! Is the show still on catchup to listen to?
| |
|
| |
| And what is your favourite service station - mine probably Tamworth, Michaelwood or Donington? Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|message wall ]]) 19:02, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| : Hi Noah, thanks very much.
| |
| : If you missed it, or want to listen again, you can listen via the Scott Mills Daily podcast on [https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09vyb1n BBC Sounds]
| |
| : I currently have a soft spot for [[Rugby]], although every service area has its own quirk and special features.

| Nice show! Guess the service station sounds right up my street.
| |
|
| |
| And also I've been working on a project where I take a percentage of how many known former Little chefs have been demolished, counting rebuilt sites as seperate. My results were 20.85 %, but I class the accurate results as between 20 and 25 %, in case of error.

| |
| I took the photo on the 16th, just missing the opening. I will be stopping multiple times on the way back from Gatwick tonight, one being in the South. If I visit Cobham, I will take photos of the new store. Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|message wall]]) 11:25, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
| |
|
| |
| : Thanks Noah. I won’t be in the area until December so it would be great to see a shot of the new store.

| Rich, its a dry run I think as you had to come up to the barrier and they opened it if a customer asked to come in. I didn't go in, but knew it was open. Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|message wall

| ==Leeming Bar WHS==
| |
| Hi Rich, I have seen your recent Leeming Bar edit but the history page says the WHSmith shop closed in October 2019. Which one is correct? Thanks [[User:NOAH1|NOAH1]] ([[User_talk:NOAH1|talk]]) 15:15, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
