There would be the following shops on LL if I had my way:


? A good barbers. Where you can get a high quality professional haircut from a properly qualified barber for ?10, a shave for an extra fiver and read magazines in comfortable armchairs while you wait.


? A shop that stocks the various real-ales and ciders that these islands produce (and choice imports) with staff knowledgeable of their histories and production techniques.


? Tobacconists of similar ilk run by and old Chinese guy with a long white beard who also makes and sells his own fireworks and periodically blows up the laboratory behind the shop with his experiments.


? A guitar shop that restores old guitars. Run by a bad tempered but brilliant luthier and his attractive, young and musically talented female assistant.


? A garage that restores classic cars.


? 24hr pizzeria


? A place to have breakfast that is somewhere in-between a kaf and a caf? (where you can get a fry-up and a smoothie) run by big-bosomed, motherly ladies with dirty aprons who call everyone luv.


? A confectioner who bakes fresh muffins and scones every morning and does cakes to order and always smells of gingerbread.


And there are many more.

Blimey, we've well and truly wandered in to Fantasy Lordship Lane. Can we add a branch of Ollivanders so I can buy a magic wand! (Or would that make them a chain?)


Incidentally, your posting problem is caused by Viagra. >:D< Honestly! It's picked up by an anti-spam filter and words like special-ist contain the more scientific name for the drug buried in them. Why you're allowed to use the 'Viagra' word itself is a bit of a mystery.

I used to have a W123 (a 1981 electric blue 200). I loved that car! I remember taking it on the open road from Johannesburg to Cape Town a few years ago as one of the most amazing driving experiences I have ever had.

Apologies if someone has already generated a similar thread but WTF is going on at the cop shop?

If i'm not mistaken it has a proper case of concrete cancer.

Bits falling off it.

Proper dangerous.

Will that mean it gets knocked down?

If so, how long will the pigsty be out for?

How many houses can I burgle in that time?

The Cloak?

    • My main issue is leaves lying on the road, being washed into drain covers then causing flooding risk. 
    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
