KWL Gets ready for Christmas!

Hello folks - Helen here another member of the KWL team! Just wanted to tell you all about an exciting event we are planning for Christmas - to promote and celebrate our beloved Whiteladies! We are hosting a Whiteladies Christmas Fair with the preliminary date of December 15th from 2pm into the evening (candle lit evening shopping - what could be better!) The stalls will be full of locally baked, sourced and produced goodies! Perfect for a few xmas gifts! We are hoping that we can get some shops near-by to stay open late for a true community event! The event will be raising money for 'Tenovus' a really worthwhile cause! Here's a link to the fb event page - take a peek!

Whiteladies...The Next Hollywood! :p

Having witnessed a fairly large film crew filming inside the better food company, I decided to follow them up the road and pester them until they gave me some info on what they were actually filming... Called 'Frail', all I got was that it is some sort of independent feature film; a drama about some girl. They unfortunately didn't offer me a role...

Costa Coffee denied on Gloucester Rd!

Congratulations are in order to Richard Leonard and the 'Love Gloucester Rd' team on their success in stopping Costa Coffee from opening! *Three cheers!*

We too have a Costa trying to open, threatening all the independent coffee shops, so let us hope we shall have the same success here!

Lib Dem's 'Declare war on supermarkets'

I have come across a recent article in the Evening Post reporting on Bristol Lib Dem's 'declaring war on supermarkets'

This theoretically should be a good thing... So why did reading the article make me feel so nauseous?! Perhaps it's the fact that the Lib Dem's have let us down time and time again in the supermarket battle here in Bristol, with the constant U-turns in granting permissions.

I cant help but feel this is just the Libs trying to jump on the band wagon not because they truly believe it is right but because they believe it will help them regain some popularity.

An old saying comes to mind: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. We are cautious to celebrate, as this Lib notion isn't a new one.

The Evening post made some pretty callous comments following its article; clearly showing it wasn't at all impressed with the libs, hypocritical, gun toting attitude towards the supermarkets:

'Whatever there reasons, this is woolly-minded gesture politics of the worst kind.'
