Sad times.....food standards finally caught up with Sing Li? Despite the poor levels of hygiene behind the counter the chips and battered sausage are to die for

Agree. Well I wasn't panicking about the new season, because the Sing Li has always been there to provides sustenance and soak up the booze before going home, but now.......

I do hope this isn't the end for Sing Li. It means we'd have lost another legendary character from the Queens Road area. I miss the days when there was the shop with hundreds of little rooms stuffed with books piled on the floor and the proprietor always smoking and doing his crossword, and just along from him at the top of Church Street was D.K. Rosen with his dead man's clothes boutique.

Back in the 1960s wasn't there a shop in Queens Road called Brighton Surgical Appliances. It was full of nasty, but necessary, medical items and equipment that looked like it was from a set of a horror film. I always remember crossing the road every time I was about to pass it. :eek:

Before my time I'm afraid. I think I remember a mysterious shop in the North Laine in the early 90s, near the chippy on Gloucester Road, that sold rosaries, crucifixes and other paraphernalia for the discerning left-footer. Anyone else recall it or has my brain addled with age?

A few other curios: There was a shop at the bottom of Trafalgar Street, now a record shop, in a permanent state of dereliction with a beardy chap beavering away on various electrical things but never seemingly selling anything. I've been equally perplexed for years about the shop next to the Hobgoblin pub opposite St Peters. Is it an art shop or designer of fancy leather designs or what?

First the New Lotus in Dyke Road and now this. Is every takeaway on my way home from the station doomed?

And the glass animal man, of course.
