Thefts from local pubs

To be honest, I'm quite relieved this sort of thing is seen as unusual enough to merit a news article. I had my wallet stolen in a local pub, and my credit card used to buy £250 of jerk chicken in a Harlesden takeaway. I didn't get a news story!!

New cafe 'Aubrey's'

A contact tells me that the clothes shop on Station Terrace, Lali, is being replaced by a cafe, called Aubrey's. I must admit I didn't know the clothes shop had closed down. When was that?

Ah, maybe it has  moved to Golborne Road? Although I think it was open only a few weeks ago in Kensal Rise. 

The Island

Thanks for all the comments on Parlour. My wife went with her parents and our toddler and said it was very good for that purpose and they all enjoyed the food. I can see why as a pub it might be less good but I'm yet to go so I will reserve judgement until I do. Nice to see investment being made in things though.

And...talking of pubs. Anyone been to the Island, or know what the refurb will entail there?
