Portobello Greengrocer

We are a group of Portobello residents, intent on bringing a traditional Fruit & Vegetable shop back to our High Street.

Why have the @Conservatives removed their pinned tweet?

Can anyone explain why this may have happened?

Anyone?

?

Retweet if you know why.

For every hour we spend agonising over societal crimes of the past, we should probably allow a minute or two to wonder what we're doing now that will be similarly condemned a hundred years hence. Climate, obviously; animal rights, likewise. What else?

@djw_eh9 It’s not us but the wonderful Root Down. A fab shop and already well loved by the people of Porty and beyond.

We will have some fantastic fresh, loose and (mostly) local produce on our stall at Portobello Market tomorrow including a few lovely pumpkins, purple sprouting broccoli, chanterelles and some glorious January King… https://t.co/wlk9RIddlO

We’re excited to see that Root Down will be opening on the High Street in February 2020 and Portobello will once again have a greengrocer. It’s not us (we don’t know who it is) but we’re happy to support this new business and we’ll be offering our support in any way that we can.

I went to the GP . Nothing serious, a check up and a repeat prescription.The pharmacy dispensed the meds and charged me a small fee. It was easy. When something is so easy you may not notice how precious it is. If we loose it we will never get it back. Vote well #preciousNHS
