i feel like people need to know about the absolute decadence of that one weird tesco express in bournemouth
what the fuck is actually going on
yeah im at the catholic guilt tesco express do you want anything?
A former church in Dorset has been reopened as a local convenience store.
The Methodist church building on Poole Road in Westbourne, Bournemouth, had been empty for three years before it was bought by Tesco.
The stained glass windows depicting Biblical characters have been kept at the new Tesco Express and the exterior largely remains the same.
A Methodist Church spokeswoman said it could not influence what its buildings were used for after being sold.
The spokeswoman added: "The money from the sale though has gone back to the local church group so that they can use it to enrich their community and develop the way they worship.
"Some people have suggested we should be angered by it but there are far worse things happening that we are worried about."
Bournemouth Borough Council gave permission for the conversion.
Following the sale, the council approved a "change of use" application.

When I’m a bit downtrodden and have a spare afternoon I ferry myself over to Word on the Water. I think it may be my favourite place in London, truly.
im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now
