According to Google Maps Dominos Pizza is at the entrance and the building itself has been demolished.<br /><br />Jenny, In many ways this does follow the downturn. When at my second job I envied a chap with a new Royal Enfield motorbike, within a few years all British bike manufacturing had ceased! The Bonds in Leith all closed (Victorian), the railways lost steam, and Wilson's 'white heat of technology' had been pinched by Japan!<br />You don't sound techy, you just think!<br /><br /> Jenny i was in Swiss Cottage 75-76. Just up from the Finchley Road tube, who gave their announcements loudly to my window! In a red brick building half of which has been renovated. I think my bit has gone.It may be 235 but I canny mind now. I remember the place opposite sold second hand Rolls Royces!<br /><br />Fly, Indeed! The lassies hung around for some time but we ourselves never met them for some reason. We also had 'Piper Expert,' to replace 'Husky,' but that was not a great seller either. <br /><br />Kay, I refuse to believe this!<br /><br />Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-64765186656317571042013-10-21T02:49:50.461+01:002013-10-21T02:49:50.461+01:00I happily upset people on a daily basis myself.I happily upset people on a daily basis myself.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-82804959162984402182013-10-21T01:22:00.665+01:002013-10-21T01:22:00.665+01:00Were those the years of the 'Tenents Lager Lov...Were those the years of the 'Tenents Lager Lovelies' I wonder...I remember the cans being very popuar - well, with the men of the family...the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-1921141693008123012013-10-20T21:47:50.254+01:002013-10-20T21:47:50.254+01:00If you were living in Swiss cottage then maybe we ...If you were living in Swiss cottage then maybe we used to pass each other in the street, possibly queuing at MacFisheries, or the Chinese chip shop of old.

Now we are trying to get work from the Chinese and the result of running everything down is becoming obvious. At least you had a job and wasn't on zero hours contracts. And at least there were slums still in Swiss cottage, now it is full of the kind of people who make a fortune from running asset stripping private equity companies, or top lawyers and accountants who help them fiddle their books. <br />Hm,must be in a bad mood today, what do you think? I'd better stop here.
