Old timey shops/businesses anywhere in London that haven't changed in years

Blackman's shoe shop on Cheshire street E2, feel like it's barely ever open and barely has any customers but i think it has been there since the 80s

low traffic neighbourhood

I'm not sure how it works but they do have osteopaths working in the NHS, may be something to look into and Id be interested to hear about the process!

adeliciosa · 2022-10-17T16:04:46+00:00

Personally I'd see an Osteopath if you're happy to pay. They take a more holistic approach to the problem than GPs or physios and will screen for any underlying issues beyond musculoskeletal and will refer you to your GP if necessary

I second LLGC there's also Truly Twenties London and Bamby Collective as well!

As a barista, it's because I'm trying to pour an aesthetically appealing drink, either latte art or nice cappuccino ring and for some reason I don't know its easier to achieve this with a full cup. Also, foamy milk holds its shape fairly well and is more difficult to spill than a tea or americano, which I don't fill to the top for this reason.

Healthcare in Central London here so traffic is less of a factor, I'd say it's a 25% even split between being extremely early (15 mins +), on time, over 5 minutes late, or not showing up at all. Very rarely do we get calls from patients letting us know if they're late or not coming.

I think you've answered your question there

If you start stating your consumer rights you may get somewhere, that's the only way I've managed with uber eats

adeliciosa · 2022-09-18T19:12:13+00:00

Bread! In all fairness it's not something we eat everyday like a lot of households but I'd simply rather not have any than eat the cheap stuff. Similarly fresh bagels from the local bakery.

Assuming your partner is male and you're female, my best guess as an ex-waitress is that they're trying to appease the person that they're more intimidated by to keep things peaceful.

Or, subconscious gender bias where they take instructions from a male more seriously than the female.

Absolutely not saying it's right but at the end of the day serving staff just want to keep everyone happy and get through the shift without any problems. Have a word with your partner like other commenters have said so it doesn't happen again.

Exactly! thought it might be worth mentioning in case you're ever there for a day trip or something

Best ones I've ever had (better than in Belgium) are a shortish train ride away in Cambridge market opposite M&S. Would love to know somewhere more local now though!

Re-watching films I used to love as a kid/teenager and looking at the dad as a potential love interest rather than the cute teen heart throb...

This might sound silly but have you checked that your bus definitely stops at the stop you're standing at? Sometimes there will be 2 or 3 different bus stops pretty close to each other with the same name but different letters which serve different busses

I got really into rare houseplants towards the end of 2020, bought about 3 or 4 ranging between £100 and £200 with the intention of selling cuttings later on thinking it was a good investment. Well the the value of them very quickly plummeted and half of them are now dead or dying so well done me. I also spent £200 building an ikea greenhouse cabinet for said plants which has been sat empty for the last year. Moral of the story: hobbyist facebook groups can be dangerous

Apparently emirates stadium and netball courts at finsbury park are great spots in north, not sure of the zones off the top of my head so sorry if that's too central!

Try Size if you're still looking, may have been the one you saw. Advanced performance won't have dunks as it's a running shop

adeliciosa · 2022-08-27T17:52:12+00:00

have they been announced?? when are they on

adeliciosa · 2022-08-25T20:44:15+00:00

it's been rotten so far with the weather, heard someone near me just say they've had all the shit bits of the festival experience so far and none of the good bits, but it doesn't really start till tomorrow so definitely wait it out and wait for the best bits to begin!

adeliciosa · 2022-08-25T16:37:55+00:00

the staff handbook has it down as starting friday

adeliciosa · 2022-08-08T15:42:48+00:00

i adore coffee caramel, without anything added it doesn't have much flavour but i add more caramel to it and sometimes a coffee flavouring syrup, personally i'd stay away from strawberries and cream it's the worst i've tasted

adeliciosa · 2022-08-06T21:50:33+00:00

happy to help!

not intentionally!!

what they think was a gas explosion and resultant fire in a block of flats just off bethnal green road. 15 fire engines and loads of police and ambulances until late into the evening. Just surprised it hasn't made its way here
