Uniform shop - Grove Vale closing


Recommended Posts

Our school told us the owner is retiring and has decided to close the business.


That (retirement) is a very common reason for such a business to close - often additionally because it is no longer a viable business model for selling on as a going concern. In this case many multiples now sell school uniform clothing - many schools either no longer have uniforms, or choose clothing which is readily obtainable. 'Posher' schools often do deals with more upmarket establishments. Often schools will themselves sell badges etc. which can be used to customise off-the-shelf blazers etc. Other types of uniform (for instance for e.g. domestic or waiting staff) are far less common. Selling on the property or the lease may offer a far better return (and be easier) than selling on the business.

Barbara is retiring after nearly 30 years running the business, Whitehall is taking over all the secondary schools & St Anthony's and Thomas school & sport in West Dulwich is taking Rosemead prep school & Holy Trinity primary school. I would like to wish Barbara and her daughter all the best for the future and enjoy her retirement.

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
