Bookstall in ED Warehouse Closing (Lounged)

[Ultraconsultancy]

The discount bookstall in ED Warehouse, Zenoria Street, behind Caffe Nero, is closing down. This coming weekend [19th and 20th] will be the last couple of days. Sorry to be moving on but...

So if you fancy some book bargains better get in there sharpish; you can also check out some of the newer stalls in there, carpets, kitchenware, and a cafe, in addition to the spices, ethical clothes, oysters, cheeses, ceramics, jewellery, antiques, and leather goods too...

sorry to hear that UC - I've only been along to the Warehouse 3 or 4 times and can see it improving all the time - always good to have a chat with you when I stopped by

[BJL]

That's a real shame - I found it hard to visit that stall without buying at least one book.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

So sorry to hear that UC, loved coming to your stall.

[SimonM]

I agree with everyone else - a sad loss. Picked up a couple of real bargains there myself!

[Izodia]

If it's not too nosy, can I ask how come? Are you just moving onto somewhere new? Either way, sorry to hear you're off.

[Jamma]

Got any Modesty Blaise books?

[????]

Sorry to hear it but first of many in there is my verdict

[karter]

Sorry to see you go UC, the warehouse is a great idea and i really hope it will be prosperous.

Too small, too similar, off the beaten track, not enough footfall, recession round the corner

[Pickle]

A shame... was chatting to you last weekend UC - good luck with future ventures/locations.

The Warehouse seems to be lacking something. Can't put my finger on what, has all the makings of a success but it's a shame that it doesn't seem to be working.

Blimey, you're all sweetness and light eh?

[????]

nope, just the truth

[Pongo]

maybe so, but why does it need saying?

[????]

Ok I'll leave you in La Di la Stepford SE22

[Pongo]

off the misery scale!

don't fight it. he's like that all the time. anyone who isn't is a stepford clone. stands to reason

[????]

Ok - I think that ED Warehouse will be a roaring sucess as it offers something different with scale in an unbeatable location

*skips away smiling

It's not that you're wrong - it's just so often the worst possible scenario in the worst possible light with the most sneering attitude possible

The Warehouse is not the most secure or viable of propositions - but it MIGHT just be fine. But which attitide is more likely to assist it's success? Your's might be more realistic but another word would be fatalistic. If people want it to succeed it doesn't make them "stepford" clones FFS.

Sean - this is a forum, part of which is to voice opinion, I'm pretty sure I will (sadly) be proved right. Do you want to pretend otherwise or give me some decent reasons to think differently other than 'hope'? I can give you abot 10 horses that I 'hoped' would win at Cheltenham of which only one did ;-)

well this is the problem Mr Quids.

Why you feel the need to swagger into this tiny virtual world, toes akimbo like some budget cockerney tit, is beyond most reasonable people.

What you have squawked in your 'no nonsense - tell it how it is' style is hardly rocket surgery is it? I doubt Poirot will be sweating about his slot on prime time TV...

But during those few seconds of putting us all in our virtual place, you briefly, for a fleeting moment - felt like 'the man!'

I'm only suprised you found time to type in between slamming your weiner in a Corby Trouser Press while frotting over crispy photos of Mrs Thatcher.

Very pleased to meet you.

[????]

Ahhhh - but George Cole will be quaking in his boots about his 'Flash Harry' from the original St Trininans....a pleasure to meet you too Pongo

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I love you, Pongo

[Moos]

Bang on - I don't see any need to come stomping in simply to be unkind, and 'it's a free country' is rather puerile as a defence.

Pongo, if you ever leave Perdita, I'm next in the queue after PGC.

Not a free forum clearly.......or in some posters mind
