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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
