Wonderful times spent with family when they were all still living locally. Favourite Newport pub? The Usk Vale. Rarely go to pubs - prefer restaurants for a night out, but in normal times use the Usk regularly with the WI. What one thing that has gone do you miss the most? Marks & Spencer in the town centre (and in Cwmbran!). I don't like the Marks & Spencer store at the Newport Retail Park. I don't like retail park shopping. If out of town shopping (which I rarely do) I prefer Malls, such as Cribbs Causeway, Cabot Circus, St David's Centre, Culverhouse Cross. Sadly, there's not enough variety of shops at Friars Walk.
