Hi Tony and Kay, to answer your question (as I have not got round to writing properly to you yet!) - NO! The only work going on with the rest of Symbola is the usual man doing the odd bit of gardening and stairwell cleaning. Otherwise all activity is focused on D Block.
The little shop is generally trying to be used by most of us who live here as it is a godsend in the winter. No more tramping up and down the hill just for a 50 kurush loaf of bread. I have also been told that within a week or so he is hoping to get his alcohol and tobacco licence and i believe he is going to set up a home delivery service. He is planning on a leaflet drop soon so when that happens I will let everyone know. His prices on some items are a little bit more than in the town, but that (for me) is overridden by the concenience factor. He has cheese, eggs, yoghurt, turkey sausages (not too bad) sucuk, crisps,nuts and snack things, biscuits, shampoo, washing powder and conditioner, candles, sweets, tea, coffee, coffee mate, icing sugar, loo rolls, cooking oil, cleaning products etc etc.
