Brian.. Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I visited London a couple of weeks ago. As I passed an old antique shop in Islington something caught my eye. The blinds had been pulled down but a row of small toys and novelties was still visible. You can imagine my surprise: The frustrating thing was that the shop was closed. There was a "Back in an hour" sign showing, so I grabbed a coffee and waited. I would have been there all day but I tried the internet for information. Eventually it all fell into place when I found this web article: Camden Passage shop window where nothing is for sale Yes, a guy who showcases his collection in a pseudo-antique shop. He takes a delight in raising expectations with his tantalising stock. I've met a number of these annoying buggers over the years. And all the time that poor little Lilliput is fading away.

robothut Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Reminds me of the movie The Magic Christan, where they open a store and give stuff away till the store is empty, then put up a sign that says, Moved to new location. But never say where the new location is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Mrs.Ranger , just reminded me about when we were in Blackpool (U.K.) around 1989-90. There was a shop there that had some robots in the window but it was closed. I put a note through the letterbox with my contact details but never heard anything back.
