Originally posted by NickFitz View PostThe cob shop over the road has been transmogrified. I assume they finally managed to sell it. It's been painted a rather unpleasant shade of green, replacing its tasteful creamy pale yellow, and has acquired garish illuminated signage replacing the typographically quite pleasing sign of yore.
It's still called "The Cob Shop" though, so at least it hasn't been turned into some nightmarish hipster watering hole
I'll have to try their bacon and sausage cobs before I can be sure things are OK, though.
You need to firebomb the place now to stop it spreading.

Originally posted by Pondlife View PostIt has. It's an ironic pastiche of the garish 'greasy spoons' of times long past. They guy serving will have a mullet but for some reason you'll need to make a reservation.
Though, TBH, the mullet could just mean he lives on one of the many nearby council estatesComment

Just had a warmed up one now to take the edge of hunger.
The other will be scoffed at lunchtime with a cob/roll/batch/barm cake.Comment

All this shifting of paper is getting a bit overwhelming.
Though I did find some hardware from 1979 just now.
I think it was a floppy controller card from some sort of ancient computer, certainly not ISA or Apple II.
It had a ceramic packaged NS1770 which at a guess is the floppy controller chip.Comment
