In terms of coffee & croissant or cake, Sergio has probably lost out to Gails.

Rangers used liquidation and therefore the end of the company to walk away from it's many debt. Started up a newco with no debts. Celtic converted from private company to PLC like most of the big clubs. Anyway looking forward to playing New Rangers someday.

Do we know if Dulwich estate shop rent is more expensive than lordship Lane?

Village books - you may have hit the nail on the head with the flippant Amazon remark Jerry - In very general terms I think many busineses where you can get exacty the same product online for the same price or cheaper will be feeling the heat at the moment. I don't live in Dulwich Village so I can't comment on the shop as a centre of community, but it was nice on the couple of times I have been in it.

High rents mean that only efficient and popular businesses will survive and thrive. It's a bit survival of the fittest I guess and can result in only higher priced shops surving, but to charge high prices you need to be good. Gails bakery is perhaps a good example of a shop that seems to be doing well.

I wouldn't enter into a rental tenancy ageeement with any estate agent and neither should a landlord use an agent either, the contract terms are a complete rip off for tenant and landlord imo. I always found a place privatley.

holloway..... what do you think now.

Earlier, the Office for National Statistics said the unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent in the three months to September from 7.7 percent in the previous three-month period. The Bank of England is watching the rate closely, having said it won't consider raising interest rates before unemployment hits 7 percent. Carney sought to ease concerns that hitting that unemployment level will trigger an automatic increase in interest rates, calling it a "staging post" for thinking about policy. The faster than anticipated fall in unemployment, combined with a more buoyant economic growth outlook, to change the Bank's projections. According to the projections, the Bank thinks there is now a greater than 50 percent probability of the 7 percent threshold being achieved by the third quarter of 2015. That's been brought forward from the second quarter of 2016. However, the Bank has also revised down its forecasts for inflation, which remains its primary policy concern. Inflation is expected to fall to around the 2 percent target over the next year.

People bought prior to the expiration of MIRAS (a mortgage interest related tax deduction) yes, but the end of that relief was just one factor in the crash, mainly it was very high interest rates in the early 1990s. "This week (in 2012) heralds the third anniversary of the base rate reduction to an historic low of 0.5%, and the 22nd anniversary of mortgage interest rates peaking at 15.4%. HSBC rings in the changes over the past 22 years." The attached table tells the story. http://www.newsroom.hsbc.co.uk/press/release/22_years_since_mortgages_peake

You have got to laugh. How long between Dallas getting up with a sore head and giving a penalty to Rangers..... :) I don't know what ever became of Hugh after he finished refereeing.

I remember sitting down to watch that Celtic Rangers match. Sky sports said and your referee for todays crucial game is Hugh Dallas. My mate turned to me and said "forget about it now Mick". How right he was. Throwing a pound coin is a big expense for a Celtic fan. Id say it paid dividends except Dallas got up and looking through his bandages gave Rangers a penalty about 30 seconds later. Hugh wasn't about to let a bit of blood get in the way of his mission that day. Rangers fans after the match were talking of getting Dallas 12 shirts printed for the next season. Read that just now on a Rangers forum (and got out alive)

I'll chase. Thanks James. Thats good news. It would be nice if the relevant businesses also improved their frontage at the same time to be uniform with the paving - but they would probably tell us to mind our own business. :)

I honestly don't mind. I like a good argument, makes life interesting.

Ho hum.

Yeah yeah, weekends are the biggest sacrifice obviously. Although I have quite enjoyed this one as I've just been taking it easy.

The army were there for some sort of "Gunners" presentation after the match and were asked to sit behind the goal in front of the Celtic fans prior to the final whistle. An oversight by Arsenal. Nothing to do with remembrance. Anyway we have done it to death now. Back in your box.

I'm thinking it might be a bad day for United today. Could be the beginning of the end RD???

That will account for Jah being so grumpy. Otta. You keep saying you understand, but you don't.

Top post Luana. Well said.

Can I once again ask for something to be done for Lordship Lane's pavements. Especially between Franklin's and Property in Dulwich. Negotiating that area this morning with buggy and two kids just highlighted the many uneven surfaces, mis match of materials and huge puddles there are there at the minute.

Thanks AM, but I'm not stupid enough to ask or expect an apology or even to think that one is due. But I do think that sometimes people seem to find it impossible to think what it might be like to be in someone else's shoes, to have experienced what others may have experienced and ask themselves how they might feel. And again again again the world wars are a separate matter.

Funny enough I believe many on here to be narrow minded in not trying to understand both sides of this argument.
