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!"

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

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
