recognise this (short story about ed?)

[bawdy-nan]

Just came across this is a review of a new book of short stories by Sheena Mackay - The Atmospheric Railway:

"Cousin Beryl lived in an area of Dulwich transformed from the quiet suburb of her childhood into a place of cookware shops, caf?s, organic butchers, with a number of junk and antiques shops, where the new, affluent population could buy the amusing old furniture and kitchenware which had belonged to the previous owners of their houses, and put it back."

Its an extract from the short story taht gives the collection its title. Pretty near perfect evocation of ED, I;d say ...

Ahhh but who is more wrong - the previous owners for ditching solid furniture and replacing it with "space age" tat or newbies with an eye for (overpriced but it's the market innit?) quality?
