London camping store?

[teuchter]

I admit I was wrong to assume. However, I'd like to have a bet with you that they don't

I'm not going to risk losing any money over it. As long as I have got you to admit you were wrong, I am happy that the matter has been resolved and concluded.

I never admited I was wrong about them selling tents, only that I was wrong to assume

 

[teuchter]

I never admited I was wrong about them selling tents, only that I was wrong to assume

Which was all I ever accused you of.

[teuchter]

Well, I think we have all learnt a valuable lesson today.

 

[boohoo]

So Teuchter is wrong ( but likes to be a smart arse about it....) and Minnie the Minx is right.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You are bang on boohoo.

No, teuchter is right as usual, Minnie is wrong, and now boohoo is wrong too.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

sorry matey, you're outvoted

 

[boohoo]

No, teuchter is right as usual, Minnie is wrong, and now boohoo is wrong too.

So both myself and Minnie knew that the camping shop had gone and if we are going to take your picture literally, you would be suggesting entering into a time machine to go to Brixton past and purchase a tent to bring into the future. As far as we know that type of time travel on that scale exists in fiction books and star trek , therefore making it impossible to go to that particular camp shop in that particular space (and time) therefore making you wrong and us right.

I thank you...

Quite, although teuchter will probably be along shortly to inform us he's a time traveller

 

[boohoo]

Teuchter is in his time machine now, going into Brixton past to stop the camping shop close so that he can be right...

Excellent, but do they do bivibags as that's what OP is after

 

[boohoo]

I think they did do those - it might be where my brother got his. However, if once teuchter brings back the camping shop into exisitence having then messed with the space /time continum (but that is a whole different matter), and we can't get a bivi bag - there is an army surplus on Walworth road - that has that kinda thing.

 

[teuchter]

Once I have finished building my time machine, I'm going to turn it back into a cinema, not a camping store.

The cinema will sell tents, so that I can not only prove Minnie wrong but also win her bet.

I wouldn't waste my time travelling to re-create the cinema, I would fight to keep the river from being culverted.

(If you want to win your bet with Minnie, turn up outside ye olde camping shop and try to sell someone your tent thus proving tents are sold on that site.)

 

[quimcunx]

How do you know? Have you ever asked them?

I don't need to ask anyone to know that they don't sell tents. Neither does minnie.

Tents are no longer sold from those premises. FACT.

 

[teuchter]

It is disappointing to have to share these boards with such narrow-minded types.

Narrow-minded? How so?

 

[boohoo]

Sharing the boards with people who can't accept they are wrong is rather disappointing...

 

[boohoo]

Narrow-minded? How so?

next time any of us spot teuchter, he needs to be frog marched up to the Resturant and made to ask them if they sell tents. Just so we can all have closure and sleep soundly at night.

 

[teuchter]

Narrow-minded? How so?

Such that they can not comprehend the possibility that a restaurant might, in exceptional circumstances, sell a tent.

No need. Tents are not sold there. Simple fact.


No one needs to ask the restaurant owners, and even if they wanted to they couldn't. The restaurant is shut. It no longer sells anything, let alone theoretical tents.

See my post no. 53.

Well. Perhaps if the restaurant owners had diversified into camping equipment, they wouldn't have gone under. Let this be a lesson to them.

well, then make him bang on the window of the now closed resturant to see if anyone arrives so that he can ask them if they sell tents.

 

[ViolentPanda]

You'd come out of there a little poorer then

I have done, more times than I care to remember.
It was one of those places squaddies always headed, because you could buy extra kit from there.

Just quoting, in case.






crosses fingers it's the place she's thinking of.

I used to buy quilted jackets in there for b/f for working on the sites in winter

Well why did the Tent place shut in the first place? Maybe it wasn't selling enough food?
