If you feel the need to do that I suspect you're in the wrong kind of investments?

It closed as a pub in 1904 as did around half of all pubs during that decade. Spennell's Directory for 1912-13 gives the occupant as being 'Anthony Greatrex' and it was still being referred to as 'The Old Black Lion'.

Forgot mine the other night. I knew the shop serves people without one so wasn't walking all the way back home to get it. Hardly anyone around and nobody said anything. The joke is I normally carry spares but had a different backpack with me this time.

...and the pictures of babies born on new years' day!

We will find out for certain this time next year when we're still in lockdown.

"CLAIM" to do that!

You're not Dutch are you because it's a total obsession where I come from?

Will it have a headphone socket? ;)

It did have restaurants at one time! A self service one in the basement and waitress service on the mezzanine floor.

There was a similar complaint when Walker's (also a jewellers) was built on the corner of the National & Provincial Bank, blocking off much of the view down Hertford Street.

Behind the temporary shops there was a much taller building, a municpal canteen I think? And before there was a ramp there was a wide staircase in exactly the same position.

Not a fan of James Hoffmann then? 😜 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb0O2CdPBNi-QqPk5T3gsQ

This one? It had become a tailors by the time this wartime photo was taken. The tudor buildings either side of it were knocked down too. The archway on the right is the entrance to Whitefriars Lane.

No you said that he was tried today he would only serve a couple of years in jail on account of having a mental age of thirteen. Here's the post: https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/how-much-does-it-cost-to-employ-315-nurses.125275/post-2125918

Not at all. I'm saying that if he indeed "had a mental age of thirteen" then he was not totally responsible for his actions and should have been incarcerated in a suitable institution, regardless of the cost to the taxpayer.

So you're now saying he was fully responsible for his actions and having a mental age of thirteen* is no defence? *Which I don't necessarily agree with.

It's irrelevant which parts of the US system I would hypothetically gut since we are discussing the UK which does not have the US system of justice. I merely pointed out it would be a lot cheaper. In another thread I actually put forward and argument for keeping a prisoner alive...

Where do you think they would send a policeman's murderer's accomplice with a mental age of thirteen then? Disneyland?

If as you say he had a "mental age of a 13 year old" he would be sent to a maximum security hospital and probably institutionalised for the rest of his life at enormous cost to the taxpayer.

You think he would walk free after a policeman has been shot dead by his accomplice do you? I can just see the tabloid headlines.
