Just in case they don't have access to their LMNH email and on the off chance that they find their ways here, this is the email I sent earlier:
Dear Matt, Lewin and Sam
I am hoping that you have access to your LMNH email.
I was absolutely devastated to hear the news of the end of LMNH. I know how the three of you have fought since before the pandemic to keep going, only, at every turn, to have more issues placed in your path.
You created and nurtured something very special on Old Street. Not just a “café, bar and workshop” but an icon; an institution; a community; a focal point for cycling; a place for memories and so much more. In recent times, LMNH has become even more important for me, not just as the best place to get top grade servicing of my bikes but as a regular escape from the solitude of working from home; a place where I could go for good food, great green tea and always a friendly face and a chat.
I have been coming to LMNH since it first opened and when it was a hang out for LFGSS in the forum’s prime. Since then we have had family celebrations there, been informed, bought art, been entertained, fed and watered. I’ve had business meetings there, bought caps, jerseys and underpants (wearing a pair today in sad commemoration TMI) and been greeted by friendly faces from Mick McCarthy and Henry to David as well, of course, as the three of you..
I hope that whatever you do next is such as success but without the challenges of the past few years. Please let me know what you move on to. Sam, in particular, I will always need my bikes serviced!
Best wishes for the future and thanks for the past

Can imagine the footfall has dropped dramatically in that area over the past few years.
That was their main complaint post lockdown. Their costs had risen but the local drop ins were down considerably, both in the cafe and the workshop as so many people from that area were working mainly from home. Mondays and Fridays, in particular, were very quiet.

This is shocking and very sad news. I started using the workshop during lockdown for maintenance of my bikes. and since lockdown have tried to have lunch there at least once a week. Just had two bikes fixed and serviced.
Working from home, LMNH has been a lifesaver. Somewhere to pop out to rather than sit in the house. A quick burst of exercise and some "fresh" air there and back and always a friendly welcome and a chat as well as decent food and good green tea.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome associated with psoriasis arthritis. It is worst between 2-4 am apparently because of enzyme production during that time. As a consequence my sleep is badly disturbed. Having had it and the psoriasis arthritis diagnosed, I am now waiting for a hospital appointment to see what treatment there could be. If I could, I would say "fingers crossed" but, as things stand, that is a bit of a stretch.

don’t you think it’d make sense to give him time to make structural changes,
Hmmm. He's got the same team as Tuchel with some supposed "improvements". He suffers from Chilwell and James injuries as before but has managed to add to them. He demonstrates no tactical nor strategic nous. He doesn't inspire players.
Saying that he should be given time is rather like Chelsea singing "we want you to stay" to Wenger for the last few years of his career.

Seems unlikely as Sunak wants to use the occasion to promote Britain around theworld. The security on all the heads of state and government attending will eat into that £50 million very quickly before the Sunak inspired party political propaganda festival even begins.
And now the scrote (Charles) wants to have an "official birthday" less than two months later and give his Mrs, his son and his daughter-in-law honorary colonelships in the Guards which will allow them to dress up like Action Man whenever the cameras come near them.

Yay for Barbour wearing equating to "looking normal".
