There is a shoe shop on the Kings Rd Chelsea called R.Soles! A book has just been published (within lat couple of weeks) called Shop Horrors the best names which gives lots of details and photos of various shops in the UK eg A chinese takeaway called 'Wokaholic'. Very funny and well worth a read. Jayne
