The Strip Joint

Hi everyone. It seems a while since I've been on here. Its just that life is busy at the moment. Then again, there really is no excuse.

I have a chuckle every time I pass this place - not because I'm expecting some seedy joint, but for a vastly different reason.

About 10 years ago, I had a car repaired under a garages warranty. After some arguing over the state of the courtesy car they gave me, (a different story again), I was finally told that the car was ready, and the car could be collected from the Strip Joint. Thinking that I was being sent on a wild goose chase, I questioned this. However, this indeed was the place from where I could collect my car.

There are quite a few 'old school' traders operating on this stretch of road opposite Fratton train station in Portsmouth. Its nice to see it amongst all the 'modern' facilities springing up everywhere.
