OK ED new age organic mums, I have no problem with breast feeding in Public, why should you be relegated to the back room toilets to breast feed your child? but WHY do some of your INSIST parking the triple baby buggy in the window of Cafe Nero and breast feeding your child in full view of the bus stop outside the window? My daughter (7) was on her way to school when some woman decided to feed her child at 8:00am in full view of 7 school children waiting for their bus, TOTALLY inappropriate, selfish, stupid and arrogant!!. Two of the girls filmed the event on their mobile phones and are considering posting on You Tube, as a parent, I gave them my blessing. So watch out for Cafe TittyLatte on You Tube this weekend. Maybe they will have more consideration?

Ondine is so right, East Dulwich is literally going downhill. In fact I am surprised you moved to Camberwell. Due to the high incidents of severe subsidence in this area, if you stayed a bit longer, your house would have probably gently moved towards Camberwell anyway.
Has a father I would not to upset that my child had witnessed a baby being breastfed, but would be worried about sending one so young with a mobile on a bus, recent attempted abdunction of girls of that age see other threads. My very large and tough sons have both had mobiles taken off them at gunpoint so suggest not always good idea for your child to have one unless it looks like a brick. Also would be worried about them having access to youtube at that age!
Actually you'd be surprised how many people still object to breastfeeding in public. Strangely enough, it's usually women. Men seem to get either sheepish about it, or try to cop a quick look; kids for the most part are curious, and women seem to have sharply divided opinions on it.
I b/fed my babies here, there and everywhere but chickened out on the terrace of the House of Commons, where I made my loud and grabby 9 month old suffer the indignities of a bottle. She was not impressed and kept hauling my shirt up, outraging the crusty MPs around us. She's 9 now and I'm sure she'd be happy to enlighten Cowbear's littl'un. After snatching her mobile of course, since we're SE5 rednecks.

How true, Ganapati.

My guess would be that, on the one hand, men see knockers as a bit of fun. Jugs are paraded in front of them on a daily basis in the tabloids. Girls in the street are happy to display the lions share of their melons in skimpy clothing for all the see.. and many a simple fella has been cheered by way of a sideways glipse of some finely-shaped hooters (through a pair of mirrored sunglasses)


I dunno. Maybe women are just less mature about these things.

Hardly - I don't intend it. I'd had a few glasses of wine. I think comments like that are too easily ignored though. I know it was said in favour of the argument but it's the fact of women being seen as objects even though it may be unconscious. I'm no rabid feminist. I don't mean to be incitive - I was bringing attention to a throw-away comment.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
