Fabric shop in Lordship Lane

[Toni]

Does anyone know if this shop is now closed down? I've attempted to go in there several times and it's always closed during the day.

[HonaloochieB]

I did hear that another dog took a wazz up against his frontage and he exploded.

Perhaps we can get him a get-well card from the new shop on NorthCross.

[SimonM]

It was open today when I passed about an hour ago....

[giggirl]

Where exactly is the fabric shop on LL?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Between the police station and The Magnolia

[Ted Max]

...I buried my heart.

That's my patch (no pun intended) and I've never even noticed it. I'll go for a tentative drive by on my way home.

It's called fabric 205 and is at 205 LL closed every Monday.

A 'tentative drive by' Giggirl? That's how it goes down in the ED hood.

I reckon it involves you and your 'homies' (not 'housies', it's more than that), slowly cruising by the shop and slightly raising your voices in unison to chorus "TREAT US WELL, FABRIC FELLOW KNOWING WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE EDF AND SHOULD YOUR 'NOTIONS' SHOP NOT COME UP TO SNUFF WITH OUR RIBBONS AND BIBBONS, WE WILL SURELY 'POST A THREAD' ON YOU, WE KNOW WHERE YOU DO BUSINESS"

You never threaten to 'pop a cap in his ass' on the grounds it would be cruel to one of our dumb chums and your milliner would be livid.

HB - you are barking. Absolutely barking. But, as you well know, You're Never Alone With a Schizophrenic.

I tip my hat to you Giggirl, that's quite made my day.

bypassing issues of stigmatising and misconceptions over the nature of psychosis...

shouldn't it be 'you're never alone with schizophrenia'

Absolutely correct JTC, and it has been hotly debated in Ian Hunter circles.

My own view is that it's a poor title for a great album.

schizophrenia'

Just to be extraordinary dull for a moment, it shouldn't be either.

Schizophrenia means split mind, but was when first used to describe the condition was intended to mean split from reality not a split personality.

Anyway, the farbic shop was closed for a while for refurbishment, but as far as I know is open as normal now.

You probably got about as much in the way of customer service as if it had been open (threads passim)

"really nice guy"

coughs, splutters and refuses to comment

[Amelie]

Guneh (not sure if that is how he spells his name) is a really nice guy. He made my blinds which are fantastic, and his family have lived in ED and owned the shop for at least 2 generations.

[HonaloochieB]

The fabric shop on Lordship Lane?

I hear it folded.

Twenty six hours after the original post.

Had to be done though.

[sillywoman]

only just cottoned on to that one HB.

(sorry, just popped into my head, couldn't stop it, honest . . .)

[dukesdenver]

Oh well, if it's folded this thread is immaterial.

I understand, but in future, button it.

[sillywoman]

Sorry HB, just repeating the pattern. eye'll try and hook up with you later.

[HonaloochieB]

Sillywoman, come on, just zip it.

[EDOldie]

It's a curtain shop! For god's sake, pull yourselves together.

[ruffers]

Loving your material - you guys crease me up.
