Big commercial for well known brand vs small, independent film. Of course you got paid.

Someone once stole an olive tree from out the front of ours, just yanked out of the pot. Really annoying as we're given it as a gift.

Tavern Snacks - now that is a proper salt and vinegar crisp - I've only ever seen them at The Blue Posts on Berwick Street. I do think it's sad - gentrification is a big and complex debate, and I'm definitely a latter day ED emigre drawn to some extent by nice shops and places to drink but I also like an area to be authentic and there is also definitely a case that despite all of these 'independent' cafes and provisions shops London's high streets in certain areas are all beginning to look the same. I only went in there once with a Irish friend, but otherwise I'd agree that the shutters always made it look closed.It is still a shame to loose a local business.
