I think it's important to share information with your neighbours about criminals roaming the area.

I would have thought he'd packed that nonsense in now that he's married.

Post-punk pop provocateur Jimmy Cauty, admiring boots (DMs?) in the window of Robert Carder. Nobel prize winning geneticist Svante Pääbo, navigating dodgy turnstiles at Denmark Hill.

I think you should start a cafe, ken78, it's obviously complete moneyspinner and a piece of piss to do. https://smallbiztrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/businesses1.png https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/25/uk-restaurant-insolvencies-closures-rise-data https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/the-extreme-economic-pain-of-running-a-restaurant-in-the-uk

Hah!

You're now getting upset because someone you don't know prefers coffee to crisps as a treat. 🤐

They're not, though. By far the most agitated person is you. The Sun article was a pisstake based on a joke on the first page of this thread. 🤷‍♂️

🤔

That sounds very unpleasant. Please do tell your son's school, as well as the [police] Safer Neighbourhood Team. These kids seem to carry on doing this stuff until they're picked up - which they often do because they are not master criminals. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/peckham-rye/contact-us/top-reported-crimes-in-this-area

Let's not get carried away. Most ABC1s in this country got to be ABC1s because they were born to ABC1s. Appreciating good service doesn't come into it. https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/pages/from-briefings-07-april-2022.html

Laundrettes have been under a lot of pressure between the cheapness of domestic washing machines, COVID, rising energy prices and rising land prices. Apparently the number in the UK fell by ⅓ between 2017 and 2022. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2022/feb/07/how-the-uks-dutiful-launderette-is-fading-under-covid-and-energy-prices

1) would love to know how Superdrug, SDM, the vape shop, the nail bars, 9000 pizza shops etc that have all opened in the last 3-4 years are exclusively for oat latte-drinking gentrifiers. 2) i got (possibly correctly) slated for calling Soderberg a bourgeois coffee shop, but apparently there are such things as C2DE shops. Interesting. 🤔 All hail the corporation in its infinite wisdom!!! It's weird to see people critical of market forces because it meant rising house prices and Iceland closing, but so enthusiastic about those same market forces when it brings them a Poundland. Especially when its fans seem to be so happy about buying "crap food" at prices that are, err, not even cheaper than anywhere else.

Like what, specifically?

...or Superdrug...or Co-Op...or little Sainsburys...or big Sainsburys...or any of the dozen convenience stores up and down Lordship Lane...or the chemists...or the DIY stores... What exactly are these products that are so much cheaper at Poundland? It's just all the same FMCGs that are available everywhere else.

Early contender for Didn't Happen Of The Year Award (EDF section).

Doubt it.

Savers is a glum discounter. There's one up in Crystal Palace but it's not as good as the Poundland a few doors down.

Yes, thank god someone is selling toothpaste and fizzy drinks on Lordship Lane, there was never anywhere to buy it before.

It's a joke on the very first page of this thread, and the poster lives not in East Dulwich, but in...Australia! I think the other quote in the article is (cough) paraphrased at best. The journalist doesn't realise the concern isn't that it will knock out farmer shops, it's that it will affect Farmer's, a shop.

Coyle won't get reselected, surely?

Ribena's recipe has changed in the last few years - I think there is much less sugar than there used to be.

Seems a bit unlikely that it's storage. Supermarkets don't leave the stuff lying around that long, especially the popular goods. Have you had COVID...?

Interior designer to the stars, Nicky Haslam, wearing a lovely camel coat. I considered asking him where he got it, but I'm probably not wealthy or cool enough to buy it. Also, Baroness "Come on, Arlene" Foster of Aghadrumsee DBE, trying to pay with cash in Redemption. I did not see whether the payment was in exchange for ash or just a coffee.

I assumed you meant this was graffiti, which would have been pretty cringeworthy, but in fact it's Poundland's own publicity material, which is immensely cringeworthy.

So, to be clear, you have children attending one of these schools, is that what you're saying? And you're genuinely worried that "weirdos" are going to show up to primary school picket lines to "impose their views" on your children?
