I don't know its name, but in the early 90s it sold cut-price Levis, did tailoring, and had a stack of porn mags in the back. Somewhere off Lordship Lane. Black middle aged gent who ran it, said it was a good distraction for blokes out shopping with their other halves.


Meanwhile do we have any local shops (or wider) with funny names to compete with: (I've visited the boutique in France, but it doesn't quite live up to its name)

It was on Whateley Rd, junction with Cyrena Rd I think. It's converted to a house now. Bloke would try feel you up as he 'fitted' your jeans and make pseudo-homosexual small talk in hope of giving you a semi-on.

You were invited to glance at the magazines out back while changing. Like you've popped-in to buy some jeans but fancy a bit of porn while at it - hmmm right.

Can't remember his name/name of his shop but it's mentioned on another thread about old shops back in the 90s.

It's still there. They have some hardcore stuff - giraffe head and necks, elephant heads, whole hippos... and an Arkful of smaller animals.

    • I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
