Taken today on the corner of Moor Lane and Russell Street in Loughborough, about 250 yards from the Perfick Plaice Fish and Chip shop that featured earlier in this series.
It is good to see the corner shop thriving in today's Britain. Notice the meter cupboard on the side wall of the shop, it looks like the door has been kicked in!
I hope to feature this place again soon, when I will show you what is on the other corner, which may surprise you.......No cheating and going on Google Earth now!!
One last thing, though it saddens me that Cadbury's are no longer a British owned company, they still make the best chocolate.
Best via the big button. I think this is my favourite shot of this series so far.
Mmmmmm, Cadbury!! Who owns them? Our eggs have been out here in the US for months. Right after Christmas the Easter stuff was out. Such commercialism. But, love them. Fabulously processed shot and can't wait to see what is around the bend.
P.S. The Mad Hatters kicked off this week. In the end, we have a pretty great team, but it's missing one gent (actually 2 now, Andy stepped away in the end). Check us out, my friend. @madhatters
@amandal Cadbury's owned by some faceless giant corporation from your side of the pond I'm afraid.....I've seen the Mad Hatters shots but just haven't had chance to comment with the week I've had. Hopefully will get the chance to later. Yes I saw that Andy had actually left 365 as well, I hope he is ok.
@seanoneill Pray for him if you are so inclined. He is really struggling and went downhill again. Things were looking up yesterday I think, but it is a battle for him.
@amandal I'm not a prayer, though I iwll always accept the prayers of thise who are with gratitude and respect. I do believe in the strength of the human spirit, and I hope that Andy has enough good people around him to get his spirit through these dark days.
lovely shot! Does look great large! Since when isn't Cadbury an English company? I remember it used to be based round about Birmingham or does my memory fail me?
@joemuli hi Joey, I'm baffled, no I didn't unfollow you but I can see that you are not on my friends list. I'm scratching my head here but I'll put that right now.
@seanoneill I try to head over there every other year, usually with spare room with my suitcase, then I can bring lots of British goodies back home with me....silly things such as Birds Custard, Sage stuffing, Maggie gravy.....the must have things that you can't get over here :-)
@allisonraposa they would be on my list, with Cadburys Dairy Milk, Marmite, proper bacon, my own real ale, Twinings Tea and a Chicken Madras!! That's a perfect day for me!!
@seanoneill I forgot real bacon, although I have found a place that does a mean curry, and I've lots, and most of them aren't up to par, but this one place is really good. Now I'm hungry :-) Btw my son loved that Two Ronnies, Fork Handle sketch.......he giggled so much watching it :-)
@allisonraposa so glad Aaron liked it. Is he old enough for Blackadder? Only Fools and Horses? Or the Two Ronnie's Mispronunciation sketch or Mastermind specialist subject of answering the question before...I'm smiling just typing these suggestions!! All part of his education, along with slowly building up to eating a Chicken Madras with a Naan bread the size of an Elephants ear and a couple of pints of cooking lager. Perhaps the lager can wait!!
@seanoneill lolol all the good things he has to look forward to :-) Why is it that the comedy that we grew up with, seems so much better than the comedy of today. I like to think he'd love Only Fools and Horses, because I did.....it still makes me giggle, as for the lager.......hopefully when he's at the drinking age, he'll find something decent...non of this watery Budweiser stuff :-)
lovely homage to the old tradition... in Montreal where i grew up we would call these places "depanneurs" - something to get you out of trouble and moving again :)
Like it. So very British. We had a bog argument about posh chocolate vs. Cadbury;s last week. Although don't they own green and blacks now? That's my favourite so it might count.
love this shot and another fav for me, great b&w processing on this and as always great composition...can't wait to see what shot of round the corner is...
