Hold on to your hats, because Lost in Showbiz was shocked to have wheeled its pushchair past a WORLD! EXCLUSIVE! story on a Wednesday afternoon, in the course of a trip to purchase some 9mm countersunk screws and a concealed hinge (something of a bonus retail exclusive there, truth be told).

Bella & Beau, where cuts for little tinkers ranged from £25 to £45, has closed – just another parable of austerity in London’s Notting Hill, where the perfectly reasonable perception that people will literally buy any old nonsense at any old price appears to have finally met its match.
