Just to satisfy Zeb's expectations, I said in an earlier post that I understand this will give LL full high street status and push up business rates, thus forcing out some of the last remaining independents. Does anybody know the position on this?


Thanks.

thus forcing out some of the last remaining independents.


If this were to happen shops would be left empty, if for no better reason than the footprint of most LL shops is well below the square meterage that most chains would be interested in. The reason we have so many estate agents is that offices of this nature can operate in small(er) premises (notwithstanding the great misue of retail opportunity space that is Foxton's).

I knew that I was tempting fate when I said that I was waiting for the negative posts to appear on this thread.


My main inclination is to greet the news that cinema has gained planning permission by quoting Margaret Thatcher (a person who incidentally I hated greatly) and shouting "Rejoice!"

Surely Taboo (1980) is in your collection Louisa?

A true dream come true! There will be an array of great films for all ages, groups, nationalities, gender, covering different genres, formats, alternative content...The stuff that dreams are made of. A great ammenity to the local community. Build it and they will come...Bring on the building works!!

disco didn't exist to the white middleclasses kids and/or journalists (in the UK anyway) until house came along.

...and, excluding the big disco hits, how much soul and funk was played on say Radio 1 or talked about in the NME? When I went to Univesrity in 1981 the soundtrack at the Student Union was very, very white...a lot of people didn't know any James Brown tracks for example

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
