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.

    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
    • We found Nikolay through these reviews and I’m so glad we did! He’s just finished restoring the original wooden floors in the living room, dining room and hallway of our Victorian house which had probably not seen the light of day since construction. This involved carefully lifting them to install insulation underneath and replacing, sanding, filling and varnishing them, plus replacing boards that were too damaged by woodworm with reclaimed pine boards. The floors are now transformed and look beautiful. As others said,Nikolay and his team were friendly, very good communicators and charged a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
