I think Jack Wills is pitched a little younger, with Aubin & Wills pitcher higher. Agreed with cate that the pricing structure is very lopsided and I am sure as a growing brand this is part of a future strategy.

Perfect uniform for the over priveledged DCPS / DC boys and JAGS girls. Also, would we all rather go back to the 'cheerz' and fried chicken shops of old? Come on - you have to take the rough with the smooth in ED. You pays your money...You Don't have to buy the stuff, but someone Jack will(s)


(sorry...)

It's weird if you ask me. ED seemed to be heading quite neatly into the gentrified mode of almost Clapham proportions with it's organic shops and overpriced polo sweatshirt stores - then came the credit crunch. The tail took a dramatic twist, and just like a half finished masterpiece by Picasso, the gentrification came to an abrupt halt. Lordship Lane has boutique sat comfortably next to chicken shop (for now).. Will this continue? Will Jack Wills and other posh folk shops continue in the same mould as White Stuff? Nail biting times for Judith from the home counties who is desperate to leave her recently bought bargain basement terrace on Zenoria Street, but cannot bare walking past the likes of Iceland on the way incase she see's a poor person! Tough times for Judith! ... Will ED's gentrification process continue.. Jack Wills, over to you my friends

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
