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.

    • 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
