Sex sign in empty corner shop.

Maybe DMC will be interested if their plans for the pharmacy fall through? B)

I used to live around the corner from that house and often wondered what the score was.

Both that house 'The Edenburg' and opposite appear to have been retailers at some point. I'm guessing the Edenburg was a pub as it's an odd name for a sweet shop.

The house opposite has recently had the frontage rebuit as accommodation, but they appear to have been forced to rebuild it with the same large-windowed commercial frontage. I'm guessing there's some planning permission limits that apply to both buildings.

The Edenburg (with the 'sex' sign) appears to be converted for accommodation also - so it's not shut up. I've walked past a couple of times when the back yard's being cleared, there were a couple of pleasant ladies who appeared to be the residents.

I notice that they appeared to have quite an eclectic range of yard ornaments, and drove quite a funky little mini.

My conclusion was that they were probably just flamboyant residents with a slightly alternative outlook for whom the 'sex' sign was no more than a bit of fun.

I can reassure readers that I've never seen any unusual comings or goings, and I'm sure the suggestion that they may be involved in illegal occupations was merely a witticism rather than a slur ;-)

I second (or third) the opening of an adult shop in ED; but it must be equal opportunity - none of this "ladies only" stuff.

It should cater for women, men, those who are transgender, all ages, all variations of physical ability, race, age, religion and species.

So that would be a sex shop running from the Magadala all the way down to the EDT then.

Should keep us occupied.

I feel Louisa will fourth this statement when she finally makes it back to London

I quite agree with your concern about this sexist agenda, MP. If we have a sex shop it should be for all genders at all times. Can you imagine the stink if any type of shop opened and announced that women would only be admitted if they were accompanied by a man? There would be World War Three.

Also, what is this about a 'cheap' man-brothel? Listen, biatch, I ain't cheap! I got standards and demand enough pay per shag to at least buy a salmon and chips in the Sea Cow.

You may find you price yourself out of the market. There's a lot of competition out there...

[Domitianus]

Yeah, but I offer QUALITY lurvvving for the lonely lady. My Barry White collection is immense and it is all on vinyl - smooth as silk, sweet as honey! I don't fear no competition.

Sooo ummmm if a sign goes up - one of those planning notice things - saying an adult shop is opening - we can expect lots of scared people with children who conceived those children with their eyes shut probably - will write to the planners saying something like, "Oi! Sex Shop? NOOOO!" and we will all individually write to them and say "Yes Please", will we? I will. I really will.

Sh! had the thing about men only being allowed in the shop if accompanied by a woman, simply because they wanted to make women feel comfortable and brave about going in, and to be fair it worked and they have done very well. Hopefully we don't need that now, or if one of us does, we can call up our friends in here and ask to go with them. Seriously, an awful lot of women are really curious but dead embarrassed and scared about what actually can be sold in a sex shop. Sh! broke the mould of sex shops in that way. Thankfully it ain't all about porn and abuse of women any more. You can go into top shelf regions of WHSmiths for that....

Anyway, yes, let's hope it happens.
