Fairline to change?

Someone posted about this yesterday on another thread. Whilst on the one hand it makes sense of another rumour I've heard, on the other hand it is denied by the owners of Fairline. After the comment yesterday, I dropped in on my way past today and spoke one of the owners. She told me that whilst they've had the business on the open market, no realistic offer has yet been received. In fact she went as far as to say that it is 99% certain that there will be no immediate sale. Make of that what you will.

Good News!!  Fairline is NOT going to become a Turkish Restaurant or Betting Shop!!!  It's heading fast towards a Polish Supermarket - hope they still do the fruit and veg lines that Fairline had...

I believe the two languages are Romanian and Bulgarian. The Arista Food Market is in fact the new Green Lanes branch of Harringay Sunday Market, catering for the multi-zillion influx of Romanians and Bulgarians predicted to swamp the Borough at 12.00.01 hrs on 1st January.

Yes thank you - I see they've got zillions of branches across Greece but guessing this is one of the few in the UK - looks like frozen and tinned foods but maybe some fresh stuff too....

Well, that's a nice change. Thanks. As much as I love our Turkish restaurants, enough is enough (and I know that I also speak for at least three of the existing businesses who are feeling the pinch after the latest batch of openings).
