Well the thread was originally going on about how a quango who gives out a certificate saying we have a World Heritage site and who passed the ugly black buildings on Mann Island is now helping prevent (with the aid of an unelected preservation trust one man band who can't see past rightly preserving Georgian stock) a 5.5 billion influx of private money being spent on revitalising a tumbleweed eyesore that nobody wanted to touch for at least 20 years.

Somehow it got onto how some L1 stores are overpriced. Do what I do and don't go in them then and if there's no supply and demand, they will close down, but probably not in your lifetime, just like I never go into Harrods when in London. It doesn't half work but the only problem then is you have to find something else to moan about instead of something else to be proud of. Do you watch Eastenders perhaps Chas
