Ask her to look at this link and see if she recognises any of the shops as being suitable

I had not thought of it in that manner, or maybe I am having a senior moment by not understanding your comment.

On a different topic:
Which part of the car park shall we meet?

If you type 'merry hill shopping centre dudley' in to Google maps then overlay the satellite view, zoom in on the pointer. You will see a crossroad, turn left up 'The Boulevard' that is the first part of the complex.

At the 1st roundabout take the 3rd exit there is an isolated area, not sure if that is part of the complex or offices, it could be a suitable meeting point. If you take the 2nd exit a service road goes around the back of the complex go on up past the 1st car park area along the 'S' bend you come to a long straight section, on the left is a single line of parking spaces, that could be a good place. You will notice the parking is thin in comparison to other areas when this photo was taken

Have a look all around the complex, there are many parking areas. I know that the areas accessed from Central Way farthest from the complex do get full on busy days, so wherever we meet we may get some foreign car mixed in

It may be possible to organise some spaces with the parking authorities. In any case a definite area needs to be established, also a reference point in or immediately outside the complex to find people that cannot find the appointed parking area, and some mobile phone numbers, mine will be available on the day.

The link of which you speak in your post was missing that's all

Would it be worth getting in touch with Merry Hill and asking permission? I didn't do that at Star City because a. I knew there would be loads of space and b. If they happen to say no, we can't really just show up anyway.

It is easier to apologise than ask permission!
