It was generally quite good, but I went in recently for some phone fittings and the (different?) guy in there was a complete dope and didn't appear to have much in the way of stock so I walked away empty handed.

Ah, not surprised I missed it then: I'd only ever go to that sector of the Plough junction during shop hours if I needed to visit the sub post office counter, which isn't that often these days.

That (on the opposite corner from the dry cleaner) looks to still be a grocer's shop of some kind.

I wasn't wearing my specs when I thought the optician in the Village had shut!

Signs on the window of Plough Electrics (as was) say it will be a cafe and deli. Should be good. I am pleased that part of the Lane is looking up. All it needs now is for the seemingly endless work next to the William Hill to be finished and that new supermarket to open.

Plough electrics has been on a downer ever since it changed ownership amd moved away from its core business of repairing shavers to trying to become an electical spare parts shop. The guy behind the counter seems to have lost heart over the years since the change and not somewhere I tend to use any more as the attidue seemed to be either can't do it or can't be bothered. Shame because at one time it was a really good little shop.

    • No need to wait until next year. They always run a post event feedback meeting. And yes, they were using some new contractors this year because the previous ones were not good enough by their own admission.
    • Sorry for dragging this back on topic, but earlier I had a discussion with Luca the site manager who was also singing the praises of the 'new' waste management team. He invited me on to the ground to the east of the 'parkrun start' path to check out how well they'd done. Within 20 paces I'd picked up (and given to him) 2 cellophane filter tip wrappers, 3 fag butts, a 2" screw, assorted scraps of plastic wrappers....! He awkwardly then said they were still onsite, and sent 1 guy out to litter pick. He also made the statement that it's "an impossible task". I will be over there tomorrow to find, collect and document all the remaining litter, to assist with next year's consultation. I think it's important to pass on that type of information?
    • Hi My friend who’s a local tree surgeon unfortunately had his small Stihl petrol chainsaw stolen last week. As a tree surgeon, this is pretty gutting.    I wondered whether anyone on here might have a spare secondhand one that they don’t use anymore. Or perhaps one that’s been left in a shed or garage gathering dust that isn’t needed. Joe would be delighted and very grateful if we could magic him a replacement soon! 🤩 Thanks so much!  Claire (07946) 728879  
    • Thanks to Coe and Lard  for playing this, hadn't heard it for so so long,  This is a poor recording, but predates the punk explosion  of the late 70s, so ahead of the game....
