Not sure if this is old news as I've been away for 3 weeks but Nisha informed me last night that she is having to leave her business and ED/London as it is no longer viable since Sainsbury's opened.


The store will be taken over by some Sri Lankan friends of hers on Thursday.


Very sad news as she was adamant she wouldn't be closing down or leaving the area.

I popped in there a few weeks ago for the first time in ages since I moved away from there and it was noticeably quieter at a time when I expected it to be busy


Shame - they were great shopkeepers and always went out of their way to help me if they didn't have something in stock. Best of luck to them

I know we are so, so sad - she is just the loveliest woman - so friendly and helpful. She always gave my daughter a bit of fruit whenever we went in and remembered her name. Do you know when she is actually going - we want to give her a card or something?

Oh this is sad news - its such a shame especially as I know how hard she has been trying to keep the business going. I always bypass Sainsburys Local and go to Nisha for fresh fruit and vegetables - it's so much better and you get such a friendly service. Really very sad to see her go. All the best Nisha to you and your family!


I will continue to support the local independent shops though so good luck to the new owners and I will be popping in soon!

When I spoke with her about 2/3 weeks ago she was remaining in the area as children were doing their A levels and she did not want to change schools.

She also asked if I knew anyone who could give her a few hours work i. e child minding, checking in on an older person.

    • 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
