My daughter living in Broughton Pl, put her rubbish out, shoeless in a loose antique silk wrap. And the door shut behind her. Spent the next hour in Just Junk resplendent in huge silver-painted Doc Martins till I arrived with the spare key. Joy of a place. Owner still going strong as of last evening
