They did. I rented Jean-Luc Godard's "Week End" from there once. That's been out of circulation for years. I'm really sad to see it go, they had a really good back catalogue.

Indeed, although I've been curious as to why that stays empty for so long. The video shop's only what 50 yards away from I guess - I just looked at google streetview and the shop next to the video shop's empty - what's in there now as I can't remember?


There's a whole thread on what ED needs on here and that's a decent sized shop with I'm sure a decent size rent - it'll be interesting to see how the real world fills this one, as well as the stationers and the one next to the Co-op.


My vote is for a car dealer, plenty of pavement there eh? ;-)

I respectfully disagree about Our Price JCTG.

Know the price of everything and the value of nothing seems to be their mission statement/philosophy/paraphrased Irish writer quote.

They should really emblazon it across their LP carrier bags.

But they probably won't, what with them being breadheads and everything.


All in all, a Wimpy Bar would be the best local facility.

Seriously, I could murder a Chocolate Bowler right now.

No BookHopper, you're not. What's the opposite of serious? That's what you're being.


You're a bit of an ol' mischief is what you are.


Press for a Wimpy Bar though and I can guarantee to throw considerable support behind you.

An offer, I assure you comes with a Chocolate Bowler should the good people of the Wimpy family achieve their Lordship Lane ambitions.

Glad you agree about the Wimpy BH, it would be a fine addition to the locality.

Of course I know NOTHING about your good self and I meant nothing more than a mildish nudge-in-the-ribs jest.

No offence.

      I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.

      The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
