the shop tenant needs to be frightened into coughing up quickly
the landlord is best placed to do this, i think, as you have no direct covenants with the shop. i would start there anyway!

obv i haven't seen your lease or the shop lease etc, but based on the caveat that this is only a quick review, this is the action i would take if you were my clients... you can also get copies of both leases from the land registry website, provided they were granted for more than 7 years (or 21 years if pre-2004)

Do most walls like to throw parties?

I have copy of the lease carefully filed in a blue lever arch file entitled "house stuff"

well done!
it will go:

definitions, demise, tenant covenants, landlord covenants, miscellaneous stuff. the covenants might be in schedules at the back. check the landlord covenants to see if there is anything in there about controlling the tenant of the shop. also check for allowing you quiet use and enjoyment etc. but even if those covenants aren't expressly there, the law implies them into the lease anyway.

god i am so dull!

Nah, not dull, I bet there's a website somewhere where men get off on your legal talk -
Oh.

How are you this evening? Did you eat properly this evening?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 0:09, Reply)

I had a sandwich earlier
meant not to eat anything more, but got hungry went to Tesco to buy stuff and my card got declined. I know I've got a reasonable amount of money at present so I'm worried about fraud or something
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 0:15, Reply)

Have you got stuff in you could cook if you are hungry?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 0:17, Reply)

Yeah
might have noodles later. I have money as well in cash, I'm just slightly worried about the card. Also at having to leave my shopping behind.

How are you?

I'm alright honey.
I'm going to bed very shortly, I'm shattered.

*hopes the suggestion of buying noodles and soup was followed so you'd never starve!*

I watched that with a hangover one Sunday afternoon.
Perked me right up, especially when his Dad got to see his son play.

Thanks for your glorious caveats
Being given a bit of direction from somebody in the know is very, very helpful right now!
