London camping store?

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

I'm surprised, can't stand the things myself

To be honest, I'd imagine it was more to do with the size of Wagon Wheels nowadays. People probably thought they were being ripped off

This shop comes highly recommend, owner is a really nice chap who does not mind you trying stuff out and takes time to explain the product range and will say a cheaper product is better than the more expensive brand name.

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

Just quoting.

More awake this morning than usual?

 

[quimcunx]

Starts blame laying exercise...

Now that the Tent and Tarpaulin shop is a restaurant,

Starts blame laying exercise...

but it isn't a restaurant

Is it a lap-dancing club or is that next door?

If so, do they lap-dance in tents?

Last night at about 7.30pm, it was the "South Beach" restaurant/bar. The shutters were down and it was therefore not possible to tell whether or not it is still "open". I shall be keeping my beady eye on those shutters over the next few days and should I see them lifted and people inside then someone is going to hear all about it and have to decide which of her hats she is going to eat.

Yes. But don't expect him to 'fess up. We'll have to keep our beady little eyes on him.

Minnie has already eaten her hat.

And even I did go in there to see the lap-dancers, she wouldn't have to worry because I don't know what she looks like, so I wouldn't recognise her.

 

[quimcunx]

(((boohoo and her hats)))

at least she has lots to choose from.

I don't have any hats (except my sun hats) and I don't dance, especially not on laps or around poles

Maybe boohoo or quim do though

Bivvy Bag here:

I think you only get the bivvy bag on the left & not the sleeping bag inner for your spondolicks but it's fine for use with ordinary sleeping bags. Got one from them for £30 a couple of years ago, works fine.

boohoo does samba. She's never mentioned poles or laps. She's an adaptable girl though.

Has she got something against Eastern Europeans and laplanders then?

By definition, all threads start off on topic.

I challenge you to create a thread that starts off off-topic.

Having been to the South Beach restaurant above I strongly recommend that the owners refrain from selling food and sell tents instead.

Bizarrely that domed camping shop was the first place my mum worked in when she moved over to Blighty. It has a massive, and I mean massive basement - the guy made a small fortune by selling uniforms to both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities by all accounts.
