Shops staying open in the lockdown when they shouldn't.

Disgusted to see the Dulwich Bakery on Parkhall rd open for business today, why are they not taking this lockdown seriously? People are losing their lives.


There is a sign in the window saying they are a 'takeaway service only'but that's all they are anyway, they have one small breakfast bar, they are not a table and chair eaterie, they are not a supermarket, they are not an essential service.


Are they that selfish & irresponsible where they ignore the lockdown because they want to stay open?


Are there any other shops you've seen open who shouldn't be? Seriously thinking people should boycott those shops in the future when this settles down for not following the Governments instructions which are in place to try and protect us all.

Brixton Cycles are open. Up in town, Look Mum No Hands has the workshop open but the cafe closed (completely closed, not even doing taekaways).


The Evans down at Goose Green is closed. They're owned (indirectly) by Sports Direct who initially said they'd be keeping everything open and then had to go back on that following something of a backlash on social media. But that was before the advice about bike shops so they might try and open some of the Evans stores up again.


Some shops are offering discount / free servicing for key workers and selling basic spares (ie no customers in the shop for browsing). I think if you need your bike repairing or need an part urgently so you can keep riding to work as a key worker, that's fine - if you're going in to look at the latest shiny things, that's not fine!

Some people are enjoying this all just a little too much...getting their rocks off condemning others as irresponsible. We need to learn to live with the fact that other people are making different judgements of the rules and the risks. That's what you'd expect in a non-fascist, mature society.

I noticed yesterday that Gails in Dulwich Village were open with queuing outside and selling bread and takeaway coffee

I think they were allowing 1 person at a time inside.

Today whilst on my morning excersise I was desperate for a takeaway coffee and I must confess was pretty damn gutted when approaching the shop at around 11am seeing a sign on the door saying they were closed until further notice and staff with face masks cleaning.

I dont even like Gails (I avoid chains wherever possible)but it was an any port in a storm moment.

Funny the things we miss and at the moment its takeaway coffee (we dont drink coffee at home dont know why its a foible of ours)I guess I should save the ?3 a day I'm not spending on it and put it in a jar to give to charity when all this is over.

I'm on the mailing list of HaveBike in Camberwell, they say they're allowed to stay open so that key workers can use/get their bikes fixed. They also do a 'collect and return' service to your home so you don't have to visit them. Haven't ever used them though, I get the emails because they were doing free bike checks in Brockwell Park years ago

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
