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.

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.

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

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)

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
