Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)

It has been on the market for ages, obviously nobody has shown an interest yet... I imagine they will be there until they get a buyer.


Also don't rule out the possibility of someone buying the business and continuing to run it.

What I really don't understand is if someone dislikes so much about a place, why BE there. ED is not perfect - nowhere is, but I'd rather be in ED than in Dalston, or alternatively than in somewhere really chi chi like Richmond. There are lots of shops I don't go in on LL - some are too expensive, some sell products I don't like or are not interested in, but I'd rather there ARE shops rather than empty shop fronts. In Devon where I originate from, Torquay has 46% empty shops. Just be glad that we are not like that (yet)

Cassius, ED and a predominantly rural location in south Devon surely cannot be compared in terms of shopping? I mean Exeter for example is considered one of the biggest clone town shopping centres in the whole of the UK and yet the environment is just really amazing and buzzing - it isnt always about whether the shops are independent or chain, the state of the town centre and the people who frequent it make the big difference, along with decisions made by local councils and government. I agree though that I would rather see the shops in business than out of it.


Louisa.

Well actually Louisa until recently Torquay (being full of middle class snobs AND chavs !!!) had a huge variety of shops - from Greggs and Pound shops all the way to chi chi boutiques that would equal Mrs Robinson for range and price of clothes. I used the example merely to illustrate how lucky we are in LL to still have a busy and thriving shopping street (even if some of the shops are not to your particular liking)


I would suggest that Exeter is buzzing more because it has a very good University rather than anything else.

The square around the Cathedral in Exeter is really nice though on a warm summer day. Some lovely restaurants and tea rooms around there.


I was last in Torquay in 2007 and I found it to be really busy to be honest, I know that the collapse of Woolies did damage the high street recently though, unlike in a London street the death of Woolies meant that many local places went under too. Shame really.

The food in Hisar is delicious.


And they do still do takeaways, don't they?

Aren't you the same guy who didn't like Turkish food on the Forest Hill thread?

What's your game mate?

Are you really a local curry house owner or something?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
