93-95 LL (Londis) extension and change of use

[Jeremy]

Well if you want to pick holes in my wording, Fox, that's up to you! Other people seem to understand what I mean. I know what I said came across as critical, but it wasn't really meant to be. It's just that there's a huge spectrum of Indian food out there, and a huge city full of people with adventurous tastes who want to try it. So I don't understand why more people can't see the opportunities staring at them.

I think the Costcutter on Bellenden Rd is a nice example of a business who have moved with the times... large selection of fresh fruit and veg, a few interesting ales and craft beers, etc, but still do all the old essentials too. Surely adapting to change is the key to success... not sticking to your guns until you retire.

It's too late. He already has (retired).

I think this from Viz sums things up nicely...

I think it was either the Cheltenham and Gloucester Building Society or a bar (Inside 52? Can't remember it's name).

Can't remember if there was anything in between, but the shoe shop originally had a different name I think, and certainly very different stock.

Years and years ago, in a galaxy far far away, Macdonalds wanted to open on this site. The Council refused permission, saying there were already too many cafes in the area. If they could only see it now.
