Hmm, Invoking a subject by denying it should be invoked, I have a bad cold and my brain is refusing to work properly so cant think what this means being as its in the Greek alphabet?
paralipsis? My greek is limited, but I get by, I dont know what paralipsis means though.
Paralipsis.(not to mention expensive)
I noticed the old flower shop (even older car bits place) on the corner of the shop row of doom is now filled with second hand sofas. I'm guessing they are for the large and much needed charity shop soon to be opening a few doors down? Seriously, how can there be a recession on if that many people are buying new sofas and giving the old ones away?!?!?!
There were things afoot there when i passed earlier in the week - i didn't have time to spy on them or get embroiled in a basilesque interrogation of the workforce.I also here on the wind that there's plans to turn Stachmos (currently offices) into a crepiere
The sign for 'Forever Flowers' was still up when i last looked - turned out to be something of a misnomer.I noticed the old flower shop...
Indeed - jobs available - https://access.sainsburys.co.uk/OA_...i=76870165&oapc=43&oas=y54lc6gEeujVcLsqDUCafg..Can confirm it's to become a Sainsbury's.
You know the toy/model shop on Marston Road, well it seems to have activity in there, some blinds are up so unsure what its going to be. Probably a hairdressers as there is a lack of them on that stretch.
Just for the record, it was Dave Walton who had the train stall in the Market and then at Amerton Farm. He did move from there to Dagfields, although he concentrated on transport memorabilia there, as there was, and still is, an existing railway shop there, which coincidentally changed hands at the same time - Trident Trains. I was actually in there today myself. Richard Spibey runs that and is most helpful and knowledgeable.I wish them well as we haven't had a decent model shop in Stafford since the demise of Bagnall's and more recently the bloke on the market moved first to Amerton Farm, then to Dagfields. For those that partake in railway modelling, they stock Bachmann, Hornby and Dapol.
The sofas, and the shop further down are a new "Heart foundation" shop of donated furniture.
They wouldn't fit in the old one.
I called into Topp Trains today and had a nose round. There's a good selection of N Gauge for those intending to build a ladies' layout. A large amount of 00 Gauge was on show and there was even an 0 Gauge wagon in the window. Most things can be sourced to order, also, apparently. Quite a selection of modelling materials and tools is available. At the moment it's 'cash only', as the credit card machine is still awaiting connection.There is a new model railway shop opened in Marston Road. Number 28, is now Topp Trains. Not sure what happened to the old model shop, but I don't think this one is connected as it is a new venture. They are going to have a website: www.topptrains.co.uk, but this just appears to be a holding page at them moment.
We had a very friendly welcome from the owner, and spent plenty of time browsing and some of my money in there.
