demise of the High street.

Yesterday ordered a Jeffrey Archer book from Amazon  Was in Waitrose in the morning and it was advertised as £14. Came home.  Ordered it last night. It arrived 12 o'clock this morning. Hard backed, the cover inside quoted £20!  I don't know Waterstone's price. What chance at all has the high Street against these prices? A real considerable price differential.

So many scams out there

In the last month or so I have received dozens of emails allegedly from Tonga,Nigeria  US federal reserve, the premier league, etc etc. All telling me I have won or will share anything from £400k to $8.5billion. I'm sure there will be those that are fooled or curious but as a general rule if you havnt bought a raffle ticket you cant have won and why would anyone want to give me a share of $8 billion. ??  Basically if it looks too good to be true then it's a lie a scam a con. Do not open any attachments and delete. Pass on to action fraud although not sure they do much.another one that looks pretty good is the one that says your direct debit for your tv licence has been rejected and quotes a piffling amount of 11 or 12 pounds. Do not make any payment on this they will drain your account in days.o

Thomas Cook

Something I don't understand.Why are all TC's planes grounded? Surely it'd make sense to let the company fulfill it's obligations and fly customers home per schedule rather than let the CAA scramble around finding planes and repatriating people to eg Birmingham when they expected Glsgow.

Is there any news? I heard someone in the High St saying that it was under new ownership? But I wasn't able to ask them about it.

And this is from The Telegraph

At 10.30am (on 24.09.19) the Supreme Court ruled that the Prime Minister's advice to the Queen to prorogue Parliament until October 14 was "unlawful, void and of no effect". Shortly after, John Bercow said the House of Commons would resume on Wednesday morning. And then Boris Johnson hit back at the verdict, accusing people of wanting to "frustrate Brexit" and "stop this country coming out of the EU".Hmmmmmmm.

ISOLA DEL SOLE, Putney (Official Statements)

Isola del Sole finished operating on 24 August 2019. We were open from the 8th March 2001 and for 18 years we have had the pleasure of contributing to animating the gastronomic life of London - particularly our beautiful home, Putney. Massimo, Susanna & Basilio want to thank everyone for their support the past 18 years. We feel honoured and lucky to be able to call many of our customers whom we have served in these years friends. We loved our restaurant and the connection we made with each and everyone of you. After all, that’s the real beauty of food: it’s a place to exchange moments of joy and everyday life. Thank you PutneyMassimo, Susanna and Basilio
