The fucking 4D ModelShop, in London, shut down earlier this year. I just found out earlier.
It was always a bit over-priced, but you could basically get everything in there, and I loved popping down at least a few times a year for the last twenty odd years, jusyt to rifle through all the cool materials, tools and toys they had. Nice people too.
Leafing through internet comments on the subject, it appears that a massive drop in foreign students buying stuff/services from there for their studies is at least partly to blame. This made me think and check through my enquiries over the last couple of yeas and - Yup - there're a lot less international student names... .
Well done, UK. We have more immigration, legal and illegal, than we've ever had and yet..?
- Not blaming the current administration, of course. All of them are shite, but it's mostly the last cunts to blame.Nairn
- why were only foreign students buying stuff? no model makers left in the uk? or the locals too cheap to spend money there?hans_glib
- what locals? in london all the universities are 50 - 70% international students. they pay 4x the fees so why bother replacing them with poor local folk.kingsteven

Good to see Reform lose in these wee towns.
They really offer nothing to them, suppose Labour failed the towns too after the Tories demolished their livelihoods

visited london over halloween, can confirm uk is eff'ed. the bs quadrouple fake-visa check-ins at the airport, the weather, the clammy underground, not Paddington the musical – that was fun, but worst of all are all the tourists

- I came back to London from Heathrow last night and I have no idea what was going on, but the entire journey was hell - it was like the population'd quadrupled.Nairn

'Sea Life penguins must get the life they deserve'
Mr Taylor said: "It's un-British to keep penguins trapped in a basement with no daylight or fresh air.
- I went here earlier this year and felt terrible for the poor creatures - penguins and the big-ass sharks and shit they have down there. It's a horrid place.Nairn
- But lol at "It's un-British to keep penguins trapped in a basement with no daylight or fresh air". I mean, he's not wrong, but i love the turn of phrase.Nairn
