Has anybody been to that Chinese herbal shop at the top of SGR? I’m very suspicious of such outlets. There were/are a few at the top of Blackstock Road. I just don’t believe that there are enough people into the “ground rhinoceros testicle” business to sustain these outlets. I’ve never seen anybody going in or out of the one on SGR. This all leads me to think that they’re all a front. A dodgy tax scam, asylum house, brothel or porno/paedo ring. Can anybody assure me otherwise?

frequently go there to be needled
My other nomination for a SGR shop that doesn't do what is says on the tin, is the taxi cab firm next to Chez Lilline. There are always dodgy looking blokes sitting at the entrance, blocking any further access. On the couple of occasions that i've walked past and asked if they can get me a cab they've just looked at me with a smile and shook their heads. And where are their cabs??
Stock is sparse and rubbish. And have any of you ever seen anyone going in or coming out or in fact walking along SGR with a wrapped bouquet or bunch?
Rather oddly, Chaps & Dames have now branched (boom boom!) out into floristry.
Unfortunately, I had to buy a bunch of flowers on mother's day (but for a different reason), and it was the only place I could find that was open on the sunday. They ripped me off, but the bunch of flowers wasn't too bad. Their christmas tree prices are ridiculous too.
Must stop wasting time at work. Eating into drinking time at the Tavern...
