The first two days trading for John Lewis have been a spectacular success - both for store and City Centre. There were some challenges for the Store Management team during Friday afternoon - which temporarily closed the cafe and lower ground floor - but the team dealt with opening day glitches quickly and the Store was quickly fully open for business again. Saturday has seen large numbers of shoppers streaming in to the store and City Centre again.

After a grand start to the day, John Lewis has been experiencing one or two teething problems when a burst pipe on the lower ground level caused the floor to be evacuated. The top floor was also out of bounds to shoppers and the first floor escalator is not working. It is unknown at this time how much damage the flooding will have caused.

Vaughan Williams' tribute to Tallis calls for a large string orchestra divided into three parts: the full string choir, a single desk from each section and a solo string quartet. The Tallis melody "Why fum'th in fight the Gentiles spite, in fury raging stout?" is one of nine included in the Psalter of 1567 for the first Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury. The theme is heard in its complete form three times and serves as the source for a wonderful miasma of variants and developments in this rich orchestral composition.

When John Lewis opened its doors this morning at 9am there was already a queue of around 150 waiting to be the first customers in the doors. Now a few hours have transpired but there seems no sign of a let up, as shoppers line up down Sidwell Street.
City centre workers on their lunch breaks stared in amazement at the queue, but many went to join it after seeing that it was swift-moving.
It seems many shoppers had taken notice of Exeter City Council's advice to travel in by public transport, as traffic was relatively free-flowing in the city centre, and although the car...
