Sofas by Saxon have vacated the premises

Sad to see another shop has ended their time on Chiswick High Road after only 3 years!

The way this thread is going, perhaps a solicitors.

Meanwhile, I wonder what we’ll get to replace the sofas?!

Peter Evans ● 1d

I witnessed this altercation.

You’ve had your warning. The post is taken down by 31st Dec or you are engaged with the solicitor.

Paul Campbell ● 1d

Can only go on the screenshot I was sent from X that you allegedly posted about the ‘charming’ woman’. And witness reports.

Russell Pearson ● 1d

I do know where you live so I suggest you retract that comment unless you want a letter from my solicitor through your letterbox as a late Christmas present. And also contact the editor to have it taken down. This not a threat. It is an opportunity for you to grow up and start behaving responsibly. This is real life.

"he had a go at a disabled black woman in Grove Park a couple of weeks back"That is slander. I have not had a go at anybody ever in Grove Park. You want to get sued Russ?

Paul Campbell ● 1d

Getting weirder, he had a go at a disabled black woman in Grove Park a couple of weeks back, was witnessed by a good few locals. I don’t know of anyone who is friends with him. We have no mutual friends.

Not anti-LTN at all. Thos implemented after FULL consultation and at the request of a majority of residents (not a few people like Church Street Isleworth or none at all in the case of Occupation Road) certainly have their place. Those implementedn to garner the votes of the cycling lobby have no place.As to mental health issues, anyone quite so obsessed with their anti-car hyperbole, despite being a driver themselves, certainly has an issue.

Sadly, I don't think that Mrs.C (if she exists) can find his meds. Till she does, treat as an object of ridicule.

N V Brooks ● 1d

Yes I know you Russ. I know a lot of people in Chiswick because I have lived here for 25 years. We have mutual friends. And it is very sad to see people who probably still have some degree of self-pride regularly embarrass themselves with their immature behaviour on here. Maybe you should grow up a bit and stop the childish posts if you don’t like the attention. New Year’s resolution to act your age and live up to the image you appear to have of yourself.

Paul Campbell ● 1d

Mr Campbell- you don’t know me, we’ve never met to my knowledge. You seem obsessed, and even refer to me by my shortened first name. You come across like a stalker. And make stuff up. All very worrying and weird.

Russell Pearson ● 1d

Russ, you are a late middle-aged man who actually goes onto social media to repeatedly gloat about driving short journeys in his car because he thinks that will irritate people who campaign for safer streets and active travel. This does not reflect on you the way you appear to think it does. It's pretty painfully sad in all honesty.

Paul Campbell ● 1d

The shop is on a LTN where through-traffic has been restricted. Anti-LTNers like yourself are convinced that LTNs lead to the demise of businesses. So why is this one different? Because it is 20 years old. And when the four year old LTNs are 20 years old and you are dead nobody will think that a business closing is due to some traffic restrictions that made some streets safer and nice to live on.And there will nobody throwing around mental health slurs every time somebody says something they disagree with.

Paul Campbell ● 1d

No one expected this. What on earth have comfy chairs got to do with Staveley Road?

Russell Pearson ● 1d

This is a thread about a sofa shop closing, it has nothing to do with LTNs or road closures and yet here we have PC ranting on about both those things.  Must be time for his medication again

Justin Stephenson ● 1d

Sure Peter. That's why the Councillors and residents manned the barricades and physically stopped council workers from doing their job to install the Staveley Road closure four years ago. Maybe I was being too generous and some motorists have just got a lot more entitled.

Paul Campbell ● 2d

Maybe the ‘old’ road closures were more readily accepted because they, er, actually closed the roads in question and we all knew where we stood. The trouble with the ‘new’ LTNs is that the roads aren’t really ‘closed’ and people mistrust the sneaky fund-raising cameras and confusing signs and exemptions.

Peter Evans ● 2d

Old LTNs = good. New LTNs = bad. It’s almost as if there is a small minority of people who just don’t like change.

Paul Campbell ● 2d

We all needed to put a sofa in the back of our car!

Peter Evans ● 2d

No medication equals plot lost. Sad

N V Brooks ● 2d

Wrong. It’s the 20 year old LTN. Chiswick Road should be two way for traffic to restore the natural order. Roads are for drivers.

Paul Campbell ● 2d

I agree, dreadfully overpriced as well. I prefer places like Thomas LLoyd for traditional leather sofas.

N V Brooks ● 3d

If you looked at their range of sofas it's surprising they lasted as long as they did. Very outdated designs in my opinion

david ward ● 3d

For the previous few years it was Wickes fitted kitchens and before that Berrys BMW/Mini showroom.We rarely saw anyone in the Saxon showroom looking at, let alone sitting on any of their sofas.  Maybe the prices had something to do with it.  We do seem to have a lot of 'house equipping' showrooms in that stretch of CHR, with Magnet opening opposite and, I gather, Wren kitchens coming to the ground floor of the recently completed office block tower, and the equally deserted bathroom shop just round the corner in Acton Lane.

Peter Evans ● 14d

Must have been the Chiswick Road LTN

Paul Campbell ● 14d

Jim, I think Chequered Flag was closer to Gunnersbury station but these premises the BMW showroom back in the 80s.

Fay Kazemi ● 14d

Oh dear.Weren't they once the premises of the long gone "Chequered Flag" ...the famed Sports Car dealer?
