    Thanks Tony, I knew someone would give me a stupid answer !!!
    
    If you could supply all four answers, I'll be thrilled, but to be
    honest, I'd be satisfied with the address of the shop. (That's the shop
    that sells electrical goods) - it was formally in Potters walk in the
    Basingstoke shopping centre.

387.3No longer in BlazingsmokeKERNEL::LOANEOnce upon a time in a TU45!Thu Jan 10 1991 17:293
    Comet  no  longer  exists in the Basingstoke area. Nearest one is in 
    Reading I suppose (if you're  nuts  enough  to  suffer  their  crazy 
    traffic system).
387.4Try Guilford!!FORTY2::GROOMFri Jan 11 1991 10:204
There used to be a poster on the window in Ex-comet of Basingstoke to say that
they considered Guilford was now your 'local Comet store'!!

    Nope, it appears to have gone now (unless I'm confused as to where it
    was and something else has gone)

387.10SaturdayVOGON::MORGANPhysically PhfffttMon Jan 14 1991 16:4411
    Well the shop sign etc. etc. was still there on Saturday.
    
    Mind you I was across the other side of the road trying to negoitate
    between a pram, two shopping trolleys and a kid on a skate board so
    maybe the shop has closed but they haven't taken the sign down yet etc.
    
    Its in the main drag, aboout half way along on the opposite side
    of the road to W.H. Smiffs
