Just spotted that Karavan (fair trade artefacts, next to Bells) appears to be closed - or at least, they've smeared white over the windows. Anyone know what's going on there? Le Chandelier also out of action in the same strip of shops. There are more shops empty on LL now than has been the case for years. At least things are looking busy in 116, the new gym (?) on Bassano St, where workmen were busy laying a floor this morning. It looks like quite a large space in there.

As I came past thsi afternoon they had a skip outside and 3 or 4 guys appeared to be gutting the interior. On Saturday the shop was certainly open - but selling its rather splendid plant pots at half price...But there's no "closing down" or "closed for refurbishment" type signs either.

Hi the Karavan is not closed it is under going refurbishment. They are also changing their stock from loads of little things like they used to do to now doing big bits of furniture and a few little things.


The Chandelier shop apparently is not meant to be closed either, it is meant to be turing into another pretty little cafe but will be selling chandeliers and lights etc at the back. :))

I would like to buy an eastern European country which ones are you selling as I intend to set up an independent anarchist state for those of a sensitive nature, there will be no banks I will just take everyone's money, it will be pram free and there will be no nick knack shops, there will be no variety of food or people so no complaints. Everyone will be between 25 -35 so let me know quick so utopia can be in sight and we can stop the moaning on here for those who don't fit into said categories

Thank you

If you are serious, and if you burn Nag Champa, by far the cheapest place I know is the Indian grocer in Drummond Street, behind Euston Station.


Works out at not much more than 60p a box if you get a big box containing ?twelve? boxes.


Karavan used to charge well over a quid for a box and wouldn't discount for quantity. I didn't think they still sold stuff like that though since they changed from ethnic to eco.


You can go to the Ravi Shankar in Drummond Street at the same time and get the best kulfi in London.


And go to the Cellar Upstairs folk club if it's a Saturday, hurrah! :)


If you like folk music of course. Which I do. Obviously.


:)-D

Oh please not a Body Shop - even though I have used their moisturiser for years.


Much of their stuff is just rubbish, and their perfume smells of chemicals even if it isn't made of them.


And this is the company which had their "soothing" range packaged in red, and their "stimulating" range packaged in blue. Shomething wrong there Shurely???


I bought three tubes of handcream from their internet sales thingy earlier this year, basically because it was half price and post free, so clearly the company is not exactly thriving, though didn't some massive cosmetics firm buy it out? Anyway, the handcream (which could probably have fitted into a smallish jiffy bag) arrived with each tube in a thick cardboard box, then those three cardboard boxes in another bigger cardboard box, and that bigger box was (if I remember rightly, it's upstairs and I can't be arsed to go and look) in a bag.


I have (sad I know) saved all the packaging but haven't actually got round to taking a picture of it to send to their head office to COMPLAIN!!!! This is the company which trumpets about ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF!!!!!

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
