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

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
