Has anyone else found the man in the Cheese shop really surly and rude. He can't even muster a smile - and at those high prices I'd be positively beaming.

And while we're on the topic, the young guy with whacky hair in the Health Shop is also downright rude whenever I go in. I wish the shops had some competition as maybe this would force them to improve their service!

Can't say I have no. Not exactly bubbly but his wife and daughter are always extremely helpful.


As for the high prices....show me the same cheese in London at lower prices and I'll eat a truckle.


Sorry Spangles, think you might have caught him on an off day.


Never been in the Health Shop....purveyors of snake oil and all that.

Ooooh....go on, do tell. Jam-man on Northcross Rd? Furniture man on Northcross Rd? Oh, wait, you said LL. I give up.

I'm all for competition. Were you thinking of starting a smiling competition? Best retail smile on LL? I've always found the Cheese Block guys to be really good humoured and Health Matters staff have always been helpful too. Perhaps they're saddened by your imminent departure.

Wacky-hair guy in SMBS is a great laugh - as are all of the people in SMBS I find


The don't look like they take any nonsense mind - if someone ventured in with an attitude of "my good man bring me some tamarind" (and I'm not saying that was you spangles) they probably wouldn't get the full smile, no


Cheese shop I frequent less (not being a cheese guy, nothing to do with the shop) but I have picked up some ham and preserves from time to time - seem fine to me

Hands off the cheese master!


Not a bundle of laughs but then when has serving cheese required a grin?


Do we want to live in the US where strangers greet you like someone they want to marry?


Surly is ok, I like surly and it kind of goes with the smell in there.

I'm sure this was discussed before but am unable to find the thread...vaguely seem to remember mixed views on the topic and someone suggested he may have been having an off-day and another suggested that he was mourning the death of his wife...(apologies if my memory doesn't serve me too well)

Somewhat new to EDF but is it a place where recommendations are genuinely made? or is it an area where you can let off some steam/have a whinge? if Im on the site looking for a good cheese shop then am i right in assuming this is a shop selling good quality cheese?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
