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.

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
