Hi Eddie


It's John Lynch here, one of the interested music parties that dropped off the radar.


Sincere apologies for not having been in touch.


Christmas, New Year, etc. etc.


I have literally just moved back into the area ( it's taken me ages to find the right place - two kids in tow ).


I'm still really keen on setting up a music section, but am so fucked for money ( two months deposit - it's killed me ).


Would you be interested in doing a deal ?


Something along the lines of, no deposit or rent up front, BUT I'll pay you the rent due out of the weekly takings.


Basically, I'll pay the rent due weekly or whatever works best for both of us.


I am off to OSLO next week for a music festival called By:Larm and then off to Austin, Texas for SXSW in March, but I would have someone who could cover for me.


I also lost my phone the other day ( too many rum and cokes ), so e-mail is the best way to get hold of me.


Let me know if you're into the idea.


Thanks for being so patient.


I hope everything is going well for you and I look forward to hearing from you.


Best Wishes


John Lynch

It was empty last Sunday morning when we arrived - maybe just opened - but it was great.


We chatted to everyone, bought some nice cheeses (sampled a lot more...) and had a long chat to the Keith and his wife about photos and travelling, and the nice lady about antique rose mirrored glass - God I'm getting old


Anyway a great addition to the hig street

I went here yesterday and loved it. All the stall holders were friendly and so happy to see some customers. I really do think it gets lost in the Lordship Lane haven of shops. For all you new mums or ones with toddlers. There is a great coffee shop there that was empty when I went. I think it would be a great place for yummy mummies to meet up. (And it will not annoy Matt)

Down Zenoria Rd, Strawbs. Keith, they do have a handheld sign on a Saturday, the stallholders seem to take it in turns. I expect it's a problem with planning permission that there isn't a permnanent one.


However, you can apply to the Council to put a sign on a lamppost - it costs about ?200 from memory - that may be worth the stallholders chipping in for.

    • Chatgpt is a joy (and scary)  No Water on Barry Road" (to the tune of No Woman, No Cry) (Verse 1) No water… on Barry Road No water… on Barry Road Said, I remember, when we used to flow In the tap by the old front gate Oba served us clear, sweet water Then it vanished like fate And then the plumber would come in the evening Fixing pipes, sayin’, "Just hold tight" But every time we checked the faucet It was still a dusty fight (Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… yeah On Barry Road (Verse 2) I see the buckets lined up outside Hope in every pail we hold The sun be blazing, the kids be crying And the kettle’s running cold Good friends we had, and good friends we lost To the drought along the way In this bright future, we can't forget the past But we sure need water today (Chorus) No water… no flowin’ tide On Barry Road… we stand and sigh No water… but we still survive On Barry Road… we still try (Bridge) Oh, dry days will pass, I know Pipe dreams gotta start to flow But until then we wait and pray For rain or trucks to come our way (Final Chorus) No water… (no water) On Barry Road (on Barry Road) No water… no pride But still we rise… (It refused to sing it for me) 
    • Hubby had to retire from work due to serious ill health which had meant he was off work for several months at a time. His hospital consultant advised part time employment only, Signed on at Job Centre and asked them to send him on courses, especially IT has not computer literate or had a computer. Job Centre refused and insisted he applied for full time work even though he produced medical evidence from hospital and letter from previous employment detailing the reason why had medically retired him. He applied for the (then) disability allowance but was refused as not disabled enough and the fact he could work part time. Applied f or several part time jobs but when they knew of his medical history turned him down. That was 18 years ago. Disabled people who want  to work find it hard to find employment. I studied Disability and Employment in Holland as part of my degree and found at that time, the Dutch system more flexible. If a disabled person found a job part time, they still received a portion of their benefit as well as wages. If found a full time position, benefit suspended and were subject to regular reviews as to how they performed in  the job. If there were no problems, benefit was withdrawn, however if they found the work was not suited to their disability - they gave up work and went straight back to receiving their full benefit. If a disabled person finds employment, their benefits stop immediately. If they cannot maintain the work and are sacked, getting back onto benefits is very difficult, Give those who are able to work at least part time, the opportunity to have reduced benefits to top up wages.
    • Trickle of cold water this morning, but by 3 pm we have both hot and cold water with normal pressure, Hopefully this will continue.
