Review of James Selby

Old folks' home 
Forget John Lewis. Forget Selfridges. If you want a department store, let's go back to the Eighties - let's go to James Selby. It's not quite "Are you Being Served?", but walk though the doors and it's a trip down Amnesia Lane. Badly merchandised, badly laid out and badly organised, it's lack of sophistication gives it a pleasant nativity in today's over-marketed shopping experience.

Review of The Swimmer At The Grafton Arms

Diamond in the rough 
Holloway: always "up and coming". However, if you can dodge the Eastern Europeans selling illegal fags and knock-off DVDs you can find, if you look hard enough, an oasis of calm - and it's called The Swimmer. Great Czech beer on tap, friendly bar staff and clientèle make the trip worthwhile. No bathing costume necessary.
