I love this shop.  I regard it as a joyful expression of colour and freshness on Lordship Lane.  Like an art installation.   I probably go there once a month, and if over a year it turns out that I spend £25 more than I would have done at Sainsbury's or M&S (and I've no idea if that's the case), then I'm more than happy to have paid for the convenience and the personality of the place.

Agreed. And you will have saved the planet from several kilos of disposable plastic wrapping too!

I miss the greengrocers that was in Northcross Road.   Loved going there and then to the pet shop and would then stop off for sustenance in one of the many cafes, most of which are no longer there.

Many cafes? I only remember two in North Cross Road at any one time when the greengrocers was there? The Blue Mountain was one of them, then Rose opened one at the back of her shop.

There was a bar, The Drum, are you thinking of that?

Yes, was including the Drum and the Blue Brick and it’s previous incarnation round the corner in Fellbrigg Road.  I also liked the bar Inside 72 on LL that used to be the Cheltenham & Gloucester building Society. They had really good burgers and great music.   Loved Blue Mountain in its first incarnation with the different rooms and booths.

Yes, Inside 72 was great, so were all the little rooms in the Blue Mountain.

The Drum used to be open after hours, you had to get in round the back. But crikey it was smoky 🤣

    • I am looking for 10 or 20 jam jars as our apricot tree has way too much fruit. Happy to trade in a  2 kilos apricots for some jars.
    • They used to be clear dates when teachers could resign from permanent positions.  now isn’t one of them.  Any school receiving a sudden resignation at this time of the year wouldn’t be able to advertise andappoint a permanent member of staff by September.  They would probably use agency staff. 
    • Politics is a nasty business and very vindictive at times - especially when internal party politics are concerned. Perhaps this is revenge for the leadership challenge and was being served cold. I do hope Cllr McAsh has understanding employers and can get his job back if that part of the story is true.
