Really? I never found that to be the case. No I'm not "dissing" the place or looking for an argument. In my experience I have often found the staff to be a bit cold and their choice and availability of stock to be rather limited.


Quite clearly I've had a need of a different genre of book in the past... Foyles and Book Etc. often meet my requirments...

I would have to agree that Foyles and Books, etc. offer a far wider choice of books than one's local bookshop. However, for a really vast selection of books, I would also recommend Amazon.co.uk. Not only as I have said, do they offer such a fantastic selection, they also offer reduced prices. Going back to Chener Books, then, I feel that for a "local" bookshop, their supply is more than adequate, but it depends on what one is looking for.

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Sue · Posted

      This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
