Just spotted that Karavan (fair trade artefacts, next to Bells) appears to be closed - or at least, they've smeared white over the windows. Anyone know what's going on there? Le Chandelier also out of action in the same strip of shops. There are more shops empty on LL now than has been the case for years. At least things are looking busy in 116, the new gym (?) on Bassano St, where workmen were busy laying a floor this morning. It looks like quite a large space in there.

As I came past thsi afternoon they had a skip outside and 3 or 4 guys appeared to be gutting the interior. On Saturday the shop was certainly open - but selling its rather splendid plant pots at half price...But there's no "closing down" or "closed for refurbishment" type signs either.

Hi the Karavan is not closed it is under going refurbishment. They are also changing their stock from loads of little things like they used to do to now doing big bits of furniture and a few little things.


The Chandelier shop apparently is not meant to be closed either, it is meant to be turing into another pretty little cafe but will be selling chandeliers and lights etc at the back. :))

I would like to buy an eastern European country which ones are you selling as I intend to set up an independent anarchist state for those of a sensitive nature, there will be no banks I will just take everyone's money, it will be pram free and there will be no nick knack shops, there will be no variety of food or people so no complaints. Everyone will be between 25 -35 so let me know quick so utopia can be in sight and we can stop the moaning on here for those who don't fit into said categories

Thank you

If you are serious, and if you burn Nag Champa, by far the cheapest place I know is the Indian grocer in Drummond Street, behind Euston Station.


Works out at not much more than 60p a box if you get a big box containing ?twelve? boxes.


Karavan used to charge well over a quid for a box and wouldn't discount for quantity. I didn't think they still sold stuff like that though since they changed from ethnic to eco.


You can go to the Ravi Shankar in Drummond Street at the same time and get the best kulfi in London.


And go to the Cellar Upstairs folk club if it's a Saturday, hurrah! :)


If you like folk music of course. Which I do. Obviously.


:)-D

Oh please not a Body Shop - even though I have used their moisturiser for years.


Much of their stuff is just rubbish, and their perfume smells of chemicals even if it isn't made of them.


And this is the company which had their "soothing" range packaged in red, and their "stimulating" range packaged in blue. Shomething wrong there Shurely???


I bought three tubes of handcream from their internet sales thingy earlier this year, basically because it was half price and post free, so clearly the company is not exactly thriving, though didn't some massive cosmetics firm buy it out? Anyway, the handcream (which could probably have fitted into a smallish jiffy bag) arrived with each tube in a thick cardboard box, then those three cardboard boxes in another bigger cardboard box, and that bigger box was (if I remember rightly, it's upstairs and I can't be arsed to go and look) in a bag.


I have (sad I know) saved all the packaging but haven't actually got round to taking a picture of it to send to their head office to COMPLAIN!!!! This is the company which trumpets about ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF!!!!!

    • There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it.  
    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.  
    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
