smellmycheese posted:Still, swings and roundabouts. Keith is going to have a big old crackdown on sweets On the one hand, yes, a bunch of these are obvious money-laundering fronts. On the other hand, the odds of New New Labour having serious, useful ideas for revitalising urban industries outside of money-laundering seem slim.

Of all the problems in the UK I don't think lovely candy shops are one anyone really gives a poo poo about.

I think you're likely to see one appear in any decaying high street over the course of a year but then it's one shop amid a sea of closed store fronts, charity shops and all kinds of weird tat vendors so it's not really notable.

Nah that poo poo is all over these days, it's the only shop left on most High streets (hyperbole but only slightly)

Hm I've never noticed one. We have a couple of sweet shops but they're like, actual sweet shops full of jars and they sell mix ups. And only one per town. I know london has streets full of them or something.

This paragraph from the article is key:quote:Marks & Spencer’s chief executive, Stuart Machin, warned in April that London was “on life support”, in part because of the “proliferation of tacky candy stores” on Oxford Street, which had left the city “a national embarrassment”. The "dodgy" aspect is less the financial crime and more the unsightliness. Ate that foreign muck, love me Percy Pigs

I watched that Rebel Moon film on Netflix and it's one of the most weirdly-bland films I've watched in years. The script feels like it was written by an AI trained exclusively on cliches and everything else feels like they just grabbed an assortment of genres and IP-knockoffs and threw them into the mix. Most people could tell you that combing bad facsimiles of Warhammer 40K, Vikings, The Magnificent Seven and Star Wars would be a really bad idea, but it seems like no-one involved cared enough to give a poo poo.

Smoked turkey went off without a hitch. Had mum over for bacon sandwiches in the morning as she's a druid and doesn't celebrate Christmas. So the rest of the day was lazily cooking , various family calls and then all the eating and drinking in the world with the lovely wife and a shitload of video games until far far too late. Finally trying to work up the energy to empty the cat litter as everything else is clean and spotless now, but I'm covered in sleeping cats and it's 5am and might just say sod it.

Seen a few in Liverpool but they never last long. Now sketchy nail salons... Christmas was good, people liked their presents, I got the usual baffling stuff from well meaning relatives Then went to the inlaws for bad turkey and great chatter. Home by seven, watched that dogshite snyder star wars film with my wife, while drinking too much fancy beer then passing out with the cat snoring on my lap.

sinky posted:Doing something about rising commercial rents and bills will upset some people though. This will do that but in an indirect way. The vape/candy stores fill spots when rents rise. If they arnt allowed to then the shop rents will have to come down. Of course the government could go after the rent rising directly but that would be anti landlord. OwlFancier posted:I was under the impression they're mostly a london thing so to me it feels like another one of those stupid things politiicans only care about because it's in front of them. I've seen them in almost all large towns I've visited. It's not always candy stores, vape, phone accessory and nail salons are other ones.
