Apparantly theyve been looking at this area for a while according to a friend who works at head office. I have absolutely no idea what the clothing range is like as i've yet to visit one of their stores and my friend is a little absent on detail. No idea why they would come here, dont see the point personally.

So a clobber shop I've never heard of might be opening in the area.

Louisa has no idea what sort of togs might be on offer and furthermore her contact in 'head office' can't help out either.

And in conclusion Louisa has no idea why a schmuta store that she has never visited and no idea what they might be flogging, should open around these parts.


I can only agree with the last part of the post, don't see the point of the post personally.

Eerrgh! Jack Wills sells outrageously overpriced preppy stuff to suckers with too much money & not enough brain cells. Typical prices; ?70 for a sweatshirt, nearly ?50 for a bra & knickers, a dress anywhere from ?70 - ?300. Definitely more Cla'am than ED.


14 year old daughters group went through a JW phase last year. They soon got over it when they realised what a rip off it was. When the latest catalogue came recently it went straight in the bin accompanied by silent cheering from me.


WoD - I have a feeling you're trolling & I agree with Ann. A Waitrose . . . now you're talking.

I misread this post, I thought it said 'there is a tripe shop ..... in NCR'

The street is full of offal shops, it would be a change to have one honest enough to admit it.

Jack wills is absolutely perfect Dulwich demographic, not ED, but as most of Dulwich shops here now it makes sense. They sell to public school kids. Nothing wrong with that, if you are going to pitch to a market, it might as well be one with a disposable income. Also, regarding the posts above - 'the shop site is opposite Dr. Boo, Hope & Greenwood, Blue Mountain cafe....' sounds like a perfect store position to me. Mater can get her nails done in Boo while Theo and Imelda can get new togs for Bestival.

This store sounds awful to me, I had never known anything about them other than my friend worked for them for a while behind the scenes, she wont be invited back for a chill sesh and bottle of chardy in the garden ever again after hearing some of this! It amazes me how these places manage to survive. I had never heard of White Stuff, JoJo whatever its called bebe or the other place next to white stuff, before they decided to move into this area! And now to top it off we have another bloody bizarre toff store opening up to sell overpriced goods to ladies of leisure! Bring back Woolies!

I bet you said that when the concept of web 2.0 was explained to you... all very anachronistic.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
