Me, too. What a delightful shop and space. Expert staff and reasonably priced plants and pots. Love the art gallery at the back. Some people seemed to defend the previous state of this space, but in my view, I prefer this. Congratulations, Pearspring.

You are rather misrepresenting some people's "defence of the previous state of this space", aren't you, Ms Blueberry?


The situation, and the reason for their "defence" of it, has clearly changed since you first complained about the state of the building.

ETA: As a plant lover, I look forward to visiting Pearspring.

I was thinking the very same thing but refrained my self from comment.


I too like the Botanical prints. Have to check out the price. It's the sort of thing I might treat myself to.

Perhaps read the whole of the thread in question before jumping in?

ETA: If you have, it's a little hard to understand your defence of somebody who describes a building as "infecting" a space.


And you say "it is alleged", and then refer to "cold hard and boring facts." So is what you say is "alleged" a fact, or not?

    • Yes I do have a vague idea of what's going on in the world, thanks Sephiroth, for explaining it all out to me though. The point I was trying to make, rather badly, because I'm busy and shouldn't be on here, is that I'm sure Jazzer didn't used to be this extreme. Either he's moved into wind-up territory, which people do do on here to keep themselves entertained, or he's just moving further along a spectrum as he gets older, which many people also do. 
    • Thank you for responding. I’m Carl Salawa’s little sister. I was nearly 8 when the incident happened. It’s still a very painful and sensitive topic in my family, so I never really asked too many questions growing up, but what I do know is this: Carl had just turned 18 and was on his way home that evening after spending time with his girlfriend and a small group of friends. The police claimed he jumped to his death, but his friends and some residents said he was being chased by police around the estate and that he fell. The toxicology report showed he had no alcohol or drugs in his system. Carl was well loved, an army cadet, and had just enlisted in the Army or Air Force. He had recently gotten engaged to his long-term girlfriend. He truly had everything to live for. Thank you again for remembering and for speaking about it. It really means a lot, especially with so little available publicly.
    • Another recommendation for Roger. He came round promptly to inspect my loft as I was worried I had mice in there. He checked it thoroughly and found no evidence of pests, and refused to take any payment for the trouble of coming out! Thank you Roger!
    • you may not have met them - but you've seen them on the streets protesting outside hostels. You've seen them in the 30% support for Reform. You may not have met them, but they sure do exist
