Is this Brighton or Baghdad? I know this shop and will always use it
whenever I can by choice as they're always so friendly. I find it hard to
believe a set of juveniles can conspire to undermine a business in this way,
but accept that this is what is happening if that is what's alleged.
I was under the impression via another party that he was threatened by the
landlords with a huge rent rise, but felt it was not my business to pry. At
least that type of extortion is legal.
