I still have my "Chester Barnes-Frying Pan Shaped" Bat!


I kid you not. Cost me 50 pence in 1974 and I used it for 15 years.


Different colours each side with different pimples each side, one "slow" and one "fast".


It was easier to deceive an opponent with a "twiddle" b4 the Law was changed to have 2 different colurs to each side.


Before both sides looked the same and you can imagine the fun I had!


Sometimes I played a like-minded player and got hoist with my own petard but I played in The Central London League ( Premier) and Westminster Summer League for nearly 15 years in each League.


Great days and some fabulous battles!

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
