Richer Sounds has now gone over to flat-screen televisions, and customers go elsewhere for hi-fi. LTNS has already pointed out that its products now turn up in Argos.
Richer Sounds used to give out free tea and coffee.. Perhaps they still do. That would be better than spending 75p in Greggs.
Anyway, it would seem that in the LTNS universe somebody nips out for a pastie and makes an impulse purchase of three-hundred quids' worth of amplifier kit.
An expensive pastie! So Greggs is not as cheap as all that after all.
"Come to Greggs for the £300 pasty!"
I cannot envisage that in their adverts. |

| It is reasonable to question LTNs's judgement of pasties and hi-fi ever since he realised that he should delete his post which misguidedly impugned an ex-coucnillor for Lesbian tendencies. |

Since Richer Sounds over the Road sell
many Sony gear half their price,
that Sony shop is dead lucky Greggs are there
getting them a few extra customers.
Because a Empty shop next door
can make many punters cross the road.

Wrong some Products have gone to Argos.
Richer Sounds are now selling a Ultra Slim Sony DVD player
for Under 30 pounds.

It cannot be libellous to accuse a hill of Lesbian tendencies - peculiar as that might seem - so why delete it and leave everybody wondering?
What was going on at this hill?
Perhaps everybody concerned had too much tea?
Life must be much more sensible in Sheffield. |

If LTNS has put up a confusing post about Lesbianism, then he should have made it clearer but the deletion leaves us simply with a puzzling reference to hills.
In his confusion LTNS perhaps intendsed to draw our attention o the part that Greggs is playing in combatting crime.
He was referring to Shakima 'Kima' Greggs, played by Sonja Sohn, the television serial The Wire. In that raw and gritty terrain, the bold, black lesbian detective does not hold back when it comes to roughing up local drug dealers.
Perhaps hoodlums will start to say, "loot out! here come the Greggs!"

LTNS is displaying unduly compartmentalised thought processes by saying that he made his confusing, now-deleted reference to hills and Lesbianism while purporting to aid to the sum of knowledge about Council matters since May 2007.
The point is: if he is so confused over the minor matter of local government, how can we trust him on the crucial subject of tea?
Perhaps LTNS could atone for this by advising posters where they can get the best deal on box-sets of The Wire on DVD with that starring role for Greggs.

What hilly area sounds like Lesbian and what does it have to do with the Council since May 2007 and why was it deleted?
The moral of this twist in the tale is to quote LTNS's posts so that he cannot attempt to wriggle out of it and cause further confusion. |

Does anybody have a picture of Sonja Sohn who plays the Lesbian cop Shakima Greggs in The Wire?
It does not sound poliitcally correct to name a Lesbian after a dour and lumbering pastry. |

That request for a picture sounds familiar.
Before anybody asks, here is a photo that is often requested and published almost every two weeks.

I had not seen her before.
Quite right. It was a very poor tactic by the scriptwriters to name so vibrant a woman after a wilting pasty.
Perhaps this was more of the irony that such shows as The Simpsons and Six Feet Under are known for. |

Quite frankly, I am astonished that LTNS thinks that Gerggs can take the London Road at all upmarket when it does not sell coffee brewed from beans harvested from amidst wild civets' dung.
A fascinating story - a far cry from 75p tea.
This is what the London Road leads to take it beyond the overstated claims of such places as The Real Eating Company.

As if the so called Real Eating Company has done anything for Hove.
There is a lesson for London Road. |

Perhaps when LTNS, when saying that when his deleted post about Lesbians was in fact meant to be about hills, he really meant Hilly Lesbians.
That sounds top-shelf stuff. |

| Is there a difference then between hill lesbians and plain lesbians? Does it have anything to do with sea level and elevation? Is this a permanent effect or does it change so for instance a lesbian who was a plain lesbian would become a hill lesbian on moving to the top of Ben Nevis say? |

| I had thought that perhaps LTNS was regarding the matter as one of bodily elevations and perspectives thereupon. But it could also be that he is suggesting a previously unnoticed tendecy for Lesbians to inhabit hilly areas, the most notable of which in Brighton is of course Hanover with its well-known "bohemian" (non-Greggs) reputation. But it is a blinkered view by him to assume that all Lesbians are bohemian. Or hilly. |

| So this is in effect a purely anecdotal, as oppoesd to a scientifically proven, finding. Could it be that yet again a tendency to generalisation has gripped hold of our esteemed LTNS and do we need to think about calling in outside help? |

So LT's judgment is never to be trusted on anything? No way! His erudite take on world politics (Bush/Blair did it), local news (bush/blair did it) and local businesses (Greggsisgreatsoisadsdawalmartgeorgeandtesco£3jeans) is always spot on.
So what if he's 'friends' with tramps? |

| Yes it takes only a little of LTNS to make anybody feel in urgent need of a boost to the system given by that coffee produced from beans lurking in the wild civet dung. |
