We were scaremongered into believing SGR was to become the new Upper Street, not bloody Crouch End! Has anyone been in? Is it worthy? #Fanfare #100

Where is it? And what is it?

Cherry Bean mother and baby boutique (or words to that effect). Used to be the bathroom showroom. Chrysos Hardware will be a Minikins before you know it.

Just walked past it. In the words of Roy Walker, it's good, but it's not right. The stock, layout and general oomph of it slightly miss the mark.

I hope it does well, but think that shop is a nightmare to make a go of.

Many moons ago it used to be the quite brilliant Roxanne, full of discount French Connection stuff, which has now moved up to Crouch End. I share Andy's feelings about it's new incarnation - it looks ever so slightly odd, but maybe they just need more stock, or a better layout.

And less lights.

@matt: Less lighting or fewer lights.

Ocado #:)

Colette

I considered pointing out the less/fewer thing, but held back. Now I wish I hadn't restrained my inner editor... (sorry Matt; on the plus side, do you know that Twingos are coming to a Renault retailer near you soon...?)

Colette, The new Twingo has been out almost a month now. Not seen a live one, mind you. And they're not a patch on my "classic". Except they're a little bit greener.

While we're on cars - does anyone know anthing about the Cinquecento relaunch? Something along the lines of the Mini and Beetle relaunch. I could have been another of my dreams.

Early 2008. Looks great. [http://www.fiat500.com/eng/](http://www.fiat500.com/eng/) They've done a much better job on that then the restyled Twingo, and even Beetle.
