Aye...

Surely those stalls that butt up to Knowles' window during Feast are gonna have to find a new home when it opens. Can't imagine them being keen to have a load of arts and crafty foodie sellers on their doorstep once a month....

Doubt they'll have any say...they will have signed knowing the stalls will be there. It's council approved innit?

Pintadera, 50 Knight's Hill, opens early and has wifi (or you can use the Great Northwood's).

Adele wrote the songs for her first album, 2008's jazz-tinged, largely acoustic 19, right upstairs. She got a deal with the powerful indie label XL straight out of her Fame-style performing-arts high school, mostly on the strength of a few MySpace demos. (She made zero concessions to the label's hip ethos: "She signed to XL, and she's talking in interviews about her favorite group being the Spice Girls," says Dickins. "She's not saying her favorite group is Einstürzende Neubauten or Nitzer Ebb!") Across the street is the African Choice Market that used to be a pub where she'd get served underage, and Hollywood Nails, where she used to get manicures. She returned there, to the proprietors' delight, to primp for the 2012 Brit Awards.

I can't speak for her music as I've not heard her sing, but she went on The List when she moaned about her tax bill: Adele's tax grievances won't resonate with fans

Though the second pics looks like it maybe upstairs as there are stairs going down and daylight coming from the ceiling

 

[clandestino]

Ah yes, good point. I assumed they were just doing the ground floor.

Saw the writing earlier and was going to take a photo of it but I was laden with shopping and have not slept properly for days so through I would do it tomorrow. But it is already posted! Looks

 

[clandestino]

Apparently it's just grime on the marble where the letters used to be, so it'll wash off...shame.

The new Costa advert: glorified coffee-porn can't mask the real truth

What a strangely aggressive piece. I'm not a fan of Costa at all but I'm not sure why he's singled them out for his ire.
