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.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
