I live 2 flats over. Was on the verge of sleep when a racket of banging on the street level door started. Thought it was some unruly yoofs, but it persisted. I uttered something like - "I'm not getting out of bed unless there's a fire" and then the trucks arrived. Quickly put on trousers and ventured out into the bitter cold. Was sheepish when the fireman wondered why I didn't answer the door.


Thankfully, the woman was unhurt, but there must be a lot of damage. Apparently it was an electrical fire (portable heater?) which originally started with an easy chair. I didn't know anyone was living there - looks very unkept.

The woman who lives there has been there at least 60 years or more I spoke to her last year the day the tyer shop closed she is very happy there and was well pis# off with lot's of interfearing people offering her money to sell the place I hope she is all right but where will she sleep to night???????

It's my understanding that William Rose has been trying to buy her place ever since they opened and even offering to keep a flat above for her, but she won't budge..

If the biggest problem I had was people offering to buy my house every now and then, I reckon I'd be doing pretty well.

Maybe she's different from you, and values her home more than speculating on making a load of dosh. Who knows. Hope she's ok anyhow.

What the hell are you talking about popey? When did I say that I value "speculating on making a load of dosh" over my home?


I was just saying that it's not a big deal, nothing to get too pissed off about. I don't see how it's any worse than getting calls from call centres trying to sell you stuff, or people knocking on your door pestering you... it happens. The old dear doesn't have to sell if she doesn't want to, nobody can force her. Personally I couldn't give a stuff what she - or anybody else - does with their property.


Don't read between the lines and judge me. Prat.

ok Jeremy pop your address up on this thread and let people come round at all hours of the day and night patronize you, assume you are an idiot and make an attempt to purchase your property for a ludicrously low sum every 10 days or so and see who is the prat and see where the similarity with call centre cold calls is.

Maybe William Rose are upping the anti and trying to smoke her out - those organic types don't take no for an answer.

I wonder whether a bigger William Rose would mean more meat/more queues or less queues/less waiting around outside but more waiting around inside instead.

Would it mean more room inside and the more people that can fit inside the more people that can call themselves regulars, which is handy come christmas. Everyone wins, bar the old lady.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
