Exactly, I don't ever remember a Lane full of fried chicken shops. The most it ever had was 2, Favourite, which is still there (and long may it stay), and the speedo pizza place was once a chicken shop. That's it. There were one or two betting shops I'll grant you, and there are probably more hair places now than ever before. Are you sure you're thinking of the same Lordship Lane? Shame, because this made me laugh. Oggy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > A chartered surveyor who works as a retail agent.... ?
