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.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
