This place has looked closed down for the last 6 months.. but still when you go past on a Saturday, the doors are occassionally flung open for inquisitive passers-by, proudly proclaiming their ?599 cars. Looks like the sort of place that will never quite die, though lord only knows what's keeping it from being boarded-up. Definitely ED's most random shop, along with the Arms shop down by the Chandelier..

.....Which has outlived many of the blow - ins btw. As an aside, I purchased a 36 inch flat screen tv 2 years ago from this chap as an emergency purchase and the bloody thing is only still going strong - who knew ?

The area out front is roped off because he's making a point to the council. Apparently he had one too many parking tickets for his liking and then took to parking on the pavement outside his shop. He continued to get ticketed so now he ropes it off to make a point. Apparently.

    • Yiddish is written in Hebrew script, traditionally, so any attempt to use 'Roman' script will be transliteration, as noted. Hebrew script does not have vowels as such, so any vowels used will try to copy the Yiddish sound of the word. Bagel and Beigel are both correct transliterations of the Yiddish word. 
    • Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.     
    • To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out. I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri
    • Housebuilding isn't that profitable and housebuilders don't have social responsibilities. The affordable housing component is just a tax on new builds. It's a total failure by government - a fantasy belief that the private sector is going to solve the state's social housing crisis for free. It's like expecting Tesco to solve child humgrr by giving away a percentage of its products. It's not gonna work - it just slows down and disincentivises private sector construction of new housing. The only solution to the housing crisis is a massive increase in the supply of housing, not a couple of "affordable" flats in a new development. The state needs to solve the problem of NIMBYs (one of whom is prominent on this thread), get out of the way of private sector developers building private rentals and homes for sale, and borrow to build a huge amount of social housing.
