Varnish on walls is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Chalk is definitely the worst thoughsuperkitty13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03129503365695631959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-69081023892352548532008-10-14T01:39:00.000+00:002008-10-14T01:39:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.superkitty13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03129503365695631959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-1168545453702958922007-01-11T19:57:00.000+00:002007-01-11T19:57:00.000+00:00Very sorry to read of the end of the Mishmash Book...Very sorry to read of the end of the Mishmash Bookshop - a lot has been written about how the internet and supermarkets have hurt independent bookselling, but very little about the exorbitant rents faced by small businesses.<BR/><BR/>After your nifty piece of psychoanalysis perhaps you should take it up professionally. I hear the hourly rate is very good and all of your patients fall in love with you.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-1168512376852745892007-01-11T10:46:00.000+00:002007-01-11T10:46:00.000+00:00Hi SteerforthThe greed of commercial landlords mea...Hi Steerforth<BR/><BR/>The greed of commercial landlords means that after a long and dignified struggle Mishmash Bookshop has closed; and so London loses another quirky independent to the relentless advance of philistinism.<BR/><BR/>However it is giving me more time to concentrate on writing and reading blogs I like, like yours.<BR/><BR/>On calciphobia - for a well read european of an age I bet it's to do with bedtime stories. The wolf in the Three Little Pigs disguises his lupine voice by eating chalk; if you find yourself too concerned with the number three, or unwilling to enter houses with wood frames, this will confirm the diagnosis. <BR/><BR/>And you have been writing quite a lot recently about Ladybird books' artwork; I remember their Grimm's fairy Tales series well, they left little to the imagination.<BR/><BR/>That's £100 please. <BR/><BR/>Ain't Dr Freud marvellous?<BR/><BR/>Andrew MishmashAndrew MishMashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676174370950920478noreply@blogger.com
