Thanks LM - I've worked at IBs on and off for a decade or so, so have a little understanding of how they're structured. I imagine there are quite a few ED residents who work at IBs, but not many "bankers". And even if there were - the Gekko stereotype has moved on a bit, at least aesthetically. Hence my question.

LondonMix Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah, I agree with all of that. There are still lots of a**holes but more Margin Call than Wall St for sure.

LondonMix Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Though there are some real bankers here too though not many in my experience.

Mick Mac Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think overall ED has a decent mix of people. What's not to like.

Jeremy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I still quite like the EDT. Can't think of any other pubs in ED I'd bother going to these days though. Peckham's better for pubs.

Peckham's better for pubs.Bishop was OK when the clocks went forward when they stayed open until 2AM which became 3AM - but definitelyquieter these days.New Cross is lively these days (probably Goldsmiths students) :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/101184-sweaty-betty-the-final-nail-in-the-gentrification-coffin/page/5/#findComment-987296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Aelfheah Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 New Cross, Brixton, Peckham if you're more youthful than I. The white horse in Pecknam I quite like. There are some decent pubs in Dulwich too though. It's great how the whole of SE London is changing, with new places opening up all the time.

NewWave Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Back to the original theme of the thread I think Sweaty Betty is a complete waste of time.if I want work out gear I go to Decathlon In Surrey Quays/Canada water.Great choice and really good value for pretty decent quality stuff.I think its pointless spending a bomb on things you will sweat in and that need constant washing.

LondonMix Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Apparently there are enough people that don't agree with you that they have been able to survive and open in multiple locations. People have different priorities regarding what they spend money on. That's life.

indiepanda Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 TK Maxx are pretty goof for branded sportswear too - under half price. I guess it's "last season" but I really couldn't care less - not like I replace my sportswear each season anyway. I might check Sweaty Betty out in the sale, but their usual prices are way more than I would spend on sportswear.

Seabag Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yes but it's "more than something to sweat in, it's a tool for transformation"That's what Tamara's inspirational omni-channel sports retailer of the year, one to watch, award winning website will tell you. Even when you're paddle boarding in Witterings or mid-run on a copa cabana beach, not driving your 1970's VW convertible with your dog Ennis thinking of your global fitness powerhouse or going to the coffee shop on the paddle boardDid I mention the paddle board already?Yeah ok, so now you know Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/101184-sweaty-betty-the-final-nail-in-the-gentrification-coffin/page/5/#findComment-988188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 90% of leisurewear never sees a single droplet of sweat anyway. Unless you count the 'food sweat' after overindulging at Chicken Cottage.
