I got told that they have outgrown the site on California Drive so are re-locating to Ferrybridge.

Wouldn't have thought California Drive as suitable myself as it is currently a large warehouse on an industrial estate.

It's got fancy new picking systems, more automated than previous. The guy who sold them the land is around 20 million richer, Wiley old bugger though, he's refusing to leave the farm cottage and buildings until TK finalise payments

I think the M62 is the boundary line for Normy and Cas, so if T K Max is Wakey side of the motorway it's in Normy, I'd take that.

Surely that new TKMaxx is nearer Ponte? It's adjacent to the A1/M62 junction. Must be one of the biggest buildings in the UK? Pity that the footprint couldn't have been on the Newmarket site.

I am lead to believe it was their preferred option, however they were persuaded to choose knottingley instead. In fact I will alter that, I know it once was their preferred option.

I thought inside man was referring to the area on California drive which is definitely Normy.
