Evening not very Standard
I feel the need to rant about how journalists always misquote everything!!!!
I had a phonecall yesterday from a woman who was in the shop, she said she was from the evening standard and they were goin around doin a survey of local shops to see how they had been affected by the recession. I was hungover from the night before and just had a little rant about how the euro was ruining my life and how i wished people would stop shopping in Primarni and such like and embrace independent shops for their individuality…
I just found out that i am actually in tonight’s paper!
I have been quoted as saying -
“My takings are down by 25 per cent compared with last Christmas.
“It would help if they brought the rents down. If something doesn’t give then I might lose everything.”
erm i don’t think so, i was mega positive and tryin to get it accross that i thought it would get better sooner than people thought…
‘Natalie Farouz, who owns vintage shop Shock and Soul in Camden Passage, has been forced to close half her business.’
Erm why would i want to tell people half my business is closed when it actually isn’t??? Both shops are sill very much OPEN!!!!!!
I feel well mugged off!
Both shops are still very open and we have an amazing sale on, so come quickly, just don’t speak to any journalists on your way x
