I hear that the landlord who has bought up that particular row of shops (all the ones repainted white)has put the rents up so it will be interesting to see how the other shops in that row fare. Can't recall what the other shops there are though. Is there a florist there??

a few years ago two lady friends of mine, who would nowadys be called empty-nesters, fancied opening a shop. they couldn't agree whose busines plan was most likely to succeed; and they couldn't each afford the rent on a wee shop in a the street[which wasn't unlike a rural perthshire ED, but with more millionaires].


they decided to take a shop with two victorian bay windows, put in two rear counters, have a wall each, and split all the costs.


as far as i know the "hand made button and chocolate cake shop" is still there and is a regular stop for american bus tours of the highlands, coining it for the two golf widows.

this is off thread but hey, i'm liking the NY speak so:


is the bottom end of ED (station side) down or up town then? or is NY parlance only applicable to LL which seems a bit nuts if that is the case as it misses out the whole stretch to the station and goose green back to the rye.


i'll assume that it's (the station) up town as we are going north. therefore i am 2nd street upper north east side, just off pytchley & vale, so (counting from pythcley) about 8 blocks away from the tyre shop??


i may start a thread about this, could be fun?

Technically, you would be in Harlem.

Shame that the Tyre shop is ceasing to trade - though a tyre shop right there, on the high street, right on the corner with a side road could cause an obstruction: punters often parking accross the drop-down, doing odd little bits of reverse parking onto the sidewalk. I used that guy too - would have been nice if he could have moved into one of the residential streets.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
