Just look at that derelict house, set in aspic, probably for the American and Japanese tourists to gawp at. I say knock it down and build an Aldi or a much needed Home Bargains, much more suitable for a busy shopping street in my opinion.

Mitzi, where are you? I hear your cries of distress, I'm here, taking in the delights of Stratford-upon-Avon. Not to be confused with Stratford in London (you only make that mistake once).

I'll have a word with Sir Tim Martin next time I see him - it'd make a great Wetherspoons. Jx
ReplyDeleteWould you Jon, that would be wonderful. The last time I was in Stratford-upon-Avon I saw a very high profile actress, enjoying a coffee with a friend at an pavement cafe, I'm not one for name dropping, my modesty forbids it *cough Nikki Kelly cough*
ReplyDeleteI met her years ago at a Polari gay literary salon on the South Bank. Nice lady. Quite posh. Jx
DeleteWhen I wrote 'a very high profile actress' I hope you got the irony. She's from Leamington Spa, people from Spa towns usually have a whiff of the Hyacinths about them.
ReplyDeleteI know a wink-wink-nudge-nudge when I read one, Mitzi! Her IMDB credits are somewhat - ahem - sparse apart from Hi-de-Hi, and Wikipedia lists a load of panto appearances. Not exactly high profile... Jx
DeleteI've never been to Stratford-upon-Avon. After living in a godforsaken Grade II Listed shed, I agree, knock the damn thing down and erect something that can at least hold a few solar panels.

Those gents has't audacity to chargeth the public £26 to behold 'round!
DeleteT's a nice lodging but b'ring, unless thou art into shakesph're, i am not, ev'ry oth'r shopeth is shakesph're themed, puns gal're, th're is a vintage robes shopeth hath called razzle dazzle yond might int'rest Jon.
My sister lived in a grade II listed Edwardian house with rotten timber sash windows, the cord inside perished long ago, in summer the windows had to be propped open with bricks. British seaside resorts are festooned with Grade II listed Victorian eyesores they all want knocking down, especially the ones in Blackpool, how can we ever compete with Spain.
DeleteStratford-upon-Avon is a lovely place but very boring unless you're into Shakespeare which I am not, every other shop is Shakespeare themed, puns galore, there is a vintage clothes shop called Razzle Dazzle that might interest Jon.
and swans lots of swans.
