Improved Thinker Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Seen something opening or closing then post it here. The Beautiful Mountain is closing down after 15 years. Pound Shop and Bargain Books on Union Street have closed down and will become Nationwide building society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fuck sake. Too much people buying their sandwiches online these days. the Mountain was a total bastion of decent enough sandwiches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 The problem with a sandwich and coffee shop like The Beautiful Mountain is that it really needed to diversify: cassettes, compact discs, musical instruments - that kinda thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I went to Beautiful Mountain twice. Both times the craftsmanship of the sandwich was disappointing. Always seemed to end up with filling in one half, and nothing in the other. Boo-urns. EARL was the best when it was down on the green. Sorely missed. Not as good since being in the Belmont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Earl was shit hot. The version at the Belmont is still my go to sandwich joint for a quick lunch when I'm up in Aiburdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 That Bargain Books has finally gone? They've had a closing down sale on since about 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improved Thinker Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 That Bargain Books has finally gone? They've had a closing down sale on since about 1995. They were selling cheap music records a few months before closing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I have never been to The Beautiful Mountain but I was entering Slain's on a crawl and my friend read out the name "The Beautiful Mountain" and then though WTF random. Maybe if they called there selves something logical like "O'Briens", "The Belmont Sandwich Shoppie", "Greggs+" or "Slippery Sandwiches". If a shop is called there-selves for example "The Beautiful Pussy Cat" or "Better In Than Out" then I am not going to think that they are a Butcher and Pharmacy respectably. Or for a third example if a nursery was called "Runts". What I am trying to say is the reason why it's not as busy as it should be is because people don't know that it's a sandwich shop.

James Broonbreed Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think people did know it was a sandwich shop... Very good point though. Why the fuck do tescos not call themselves super market? Why does fender not call itself guitar brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Tell me more about "Slippery Sandwiches". There is a strange phenomenon in the mentioned sandwich shop where for some reason all of the bread has become soiled by some sort of substance. The staff were initially alarmed but the customers seemed to like it and asked for more of this "special mayo". The staff thought there must be some sort of paranormal reason for this but are questioning this as for some reason ever since the work experience person "Roger" has left, this "special mayo" has stopped appearing. It's remains a white sticky slippery situation which will probably never be solved. Edited March 17, 2015 by Improved Thinker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improved Thinker Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 'Belmont' translates to 'Beautiful Mountain' in latin. Yeah, but that only works with an intelligent and switched on footfall otherwise it sounds random and weird. I now feel as if the owner thinks he has 1 up on me and I feel insulted.
