Fopp was shite. It never had anything apart from mainstream releases - One felt obliged to buy stuff just because it was so damn cheap. Every time I went in one I loaded up on CDs and then on approaching the counter put them back and went to Rough Trade in Covent Garden instead to buy obscure CDs and Records. I can understand why people like it, but they never stocked anything that you couldn't buy anywhere else.

I dunno Bleep. I bought an awful lot of stuff in there over the last couple of years that most people won't and will not have heard of. Mainstream it ain't.

I suspect from previous postings that your tastes lean heavily toward electronica, and for this you may well be correct.

For indy it was a marvel.

EDF: another day, another attack.


Mockney,


I'm afraid your knowledge of recorded music technology is not sound.


The organic material used to play records was the thorn needle.


They could be purchased at Follet's record store at the bottom of Lordship Lane.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
