@missannie No, but if you were to open a male grooming place that offered beer and sky sports it might be a shrewd business decision
(There was a barber near my old place which did exactly that....)
@missannie knew that was coming haha.....
Crude? Yes. Untrue? Difficult to say. In my experience women have a sweeter tooth..... Though I guess this is just one of those statements which however you spin it looks bad on a forum *sigh*
I think if you want to offer a mish mash of stuff, have a look at Harringay Local Store up by green lanes, and compare with the Deli at 80 and see what isn't being supplied in the area.
As an example, harringay local store sell records as well a…
Be wary that the Deli at 80 and Blighty both sell "Bread by Bike" bread which is amazing (the classic one is anyway), and yet they still have to sell some at half price at the end of the day. As there isn't much margin on bread anyway it's worth tak…
@missannie Also don't understand the tieing of capitalists with leavers. Most archetypal capitalists were remainers. Justify such controversial comments!
@arkady "Play the ball not the man": I like that, will keep it in my back pocket for some time in the future....
Regarding our voting tendencies, I guess that makes us the polar opposite of Boston in Lincolnshire. Perhaps Corbs should organise …
The point still remains. I understand it that former ford workers would want out, but by the same token a town that is dominated by a factory like that should not have voted to leave. Only a failure on the part of the remain campaign can account for…
I feel bad for the civil servants, this is going to be a multi-year headache....
Love how Farage et al have been calling for quick negotiation of trade deals. Not likely given we don't really have any trade negotiators anymore (almost all done…
This isn't good. But it's best to try not to slip too much into hyperbole. There'll be a recession, but in the long run the world isn't going to end.
That is, unless this causes the collapse of the EU over the next few years, which would undou…
Just seen a few out posters in croydon. In fact, I'm sitting opposite a woman in a wetherspoons with a "LEAVE THE EU" shirt on. I have a remain sticker on.... Let the staring contest commence....
Was thinking that myself! Every other house down my way has an in poster. There's even a person with an EU flag flying out of their window on Tollington Park.
Really we're very much on In turf - North London lefties and all that. Would be a ve…
There's also the young woman and young man who patrol seven sisters road from Holloway to the Bedford.
I never give to them, but I try not to judge as I don't know their backstory. For instance once you hear that a large portion of the older m…
@holbornfox Safe and generic it is, but to be honest who cares? If you don't like it don't go, there are plenty of other places. It's not like we're lost for options, and as you've said in the past - you can only drink at so many places in a given w…
@holbornfox Funnily enough, I would call the crown and the mother red cap "quiet pint" places, and they tick most of those boxes. I just hate shouting, is that so bad? I don't think everywhere should be like that - I'm just speaking for myself as a …
@missannie Of course, I'm just offering the other side. As much as I liked the silver bullet, depending on how good the new place is I imagine I'll be more likely to spend more time there, as I've always been more of a quiet pint and chat kind of pe…
I said hello the other day. They were very nice. I believe it's 25% off for beauty treatments once they start.
I have to say though the shabby chic seating outside did make a cringe a bit.... But each to their own
I think "exploit" is a bit of a strong term, as the transaction is still largely reciprocal. What complicates it is the nature of property as a commodity, in that it becomes more than a place to live but also a home. Maybe the secret is not to get t…
@verga hahahahaha
Yeah, a late bar makes sense. That would be such a crap place for a burger and lobster.
It's going to happen now, so let's wait and see. Could become a real asset in the area as the silver bullet wasn't really my cup of tea o…
I feel like part of the issue is intermediaries, it's much harder to raise rents on someone you've met and that you know....
Also, as with anything, people's minds might change if they get into the situation where they're a landlord. If someone i…
Forgive me for the facetiousness, but I love the image of environmentally conscious criminals driving a Prius.... Maybe they go to whole foods as well....
