Or an Iraq property shop which would be unique for the UK.

Why is everyone on here so negative!? Surely we should be rejoicing that an empty, abandoned shop is actually going to be used again. Whatever it is, it will look a whole lot better in use than lying empty.

It's not so much negativity for the sake of it, but based on previous experience instead. Mixed with some humour of course! Why would anyone be excited about having the 15th hairdressers open in the town!? It’s like being excited about the BBC* showing a repeat of an earlier show over and over again to fill the time slots, rather than broadcasting nothing! *(disclaimer; or any other TV station)

Absoulely - a used premises has to be better than an empty one. The business' so often decried seem to work ie Coffee Shops, Hairdressers and Restuarants. If they can make it work then there must be a reason - we use them. OK, something different would be great but if nobody else wants to put the money in then we should at least be grateful -people do pass other shops on their way to said places and may go back and use them.

That would indicate a high population of women with really great hair and little to occupy their time. Speaking as a heterosexual male, I'd say that's exciting.[}:)]

shunt, one could argue that new hairdressers are opening because they think they will be better than what already exists, or that the women are so busy that there are not enough appointments available in Hertford that they can easily fit that essential hairdo into their ultra-busy schedules...[:D] How would you interpret the large number of restaurants in Hertford? [:p]

A motorcycle shop would be a good idea, as one has been closed for a while!!

Blimey another Estate Agents from Enfield. Looks like they will be shipping half of North London to Hertford before long...What with Lanes as well.

Agreed, the Mercury property supplement is looking a tad thin at the moment.
