Yes, years ago when it was Safeway. They had 4 or 5 but it didn't catch on, perhaps due to the problems returning the things.

There is/was a rumour that the now closed Timehouse is being relocated. Does anyone have an update on this please.

Facts about Totnes:

In Totnes you are never more than three metres from an aromatherapist
Totnes is reputedly twinned with Narnia
Totnes has been described (quite accurately) as ten square miles surrounded by reality

And on many occasions I've seen traffic ascending the high street at <2mph following a local and regular cycle shopper on a recumbent tadpole trike.
