no i don't think Louisa is speaking cobblers, it's not the wealth per se, it's how we (the rich) change areas by moving into them.


However to that I would say... welcome to London. This isn't the North or the countryside, and it isn't "your" ED, no matter how long you've lived here. 70% of Londoners weren't born here - we are the real Londoners.

Its interesting that ED currently comprises a social housing population of 30%, and in addition probably at least another 30% of home owner but culturally working class people, that comprises well over half of the community. Walk down LL and what percentage of the shops are aimed at people with a high income? I would say well over 2/3.

As the richest 10% own 90% of the assets they should be aiming for 90% of the shops too.


Of course shops are aimed at people with cash. Hello! McFly!


I don't see how we are helping you here. Does it help just to chat about it?


How are you going to cope with the fact that your East Dulwich is dead? What are you going to do?

I'm neither wealthy or jealous (well only a little). I would just like to remind those of privilege that with it comes responsibility: that means tiring of your White Stuff garb v. quickly and off-loading it to the charity shop so I may indulge.


PS - I went into WS yesterday, perfectly affable staff, good layout, swish changing rooms, inoffensive clothing and a plus for Lordship Lane.

Alan Dale I find joshing with folk on here is highly therapeutic, and in seriousness, I do not have a complete hang-up on the idea of an area of London changing or transforming. I as an individual can do little to stop it, apart from continue to shop at places now on the 'at risk register' because the yuppies have a wish list of high end stores they would like to see replace 'a certain frozen food store' et al. I think they have already done a number on us with the pubs, or should I say bars.

AD, White Stuff is very 'man bags at the ready', and i've noticed half the guys inside were wearing those very trendy thin framed glasses. It does seem to attract geeks.



*Bob* I never backtrack - I love my rose wine, it's chilled and refreshing and I know how much youd love to be sat here with me now having a glass accompanied by some banter.

As it happens, we're pretty-much doing that anyway (*sips*). Perhaps we could just shout over the fences and save on the electricity?

Wise words from Huguenot in the wee-small hours UK time. However, dear boy, your statement that:


"White Stuff kinda reminds us of young wealthy people who take two ski holidays a year"


makes no sense in that one ski holidays would be snow-board holidays and three ski-holidays would be one ski too many


Surely? :))

As a geek who wears thin-rimmed glasses, takes more than one ski (snowboard, actually) holidays a year and will be popping into White Stuff tomorrow for a look, I 'm now incomplete as I'm not accompanied by a man bag.


I don't like man bags! What should I do?

    • Thats the problem, I dont have a solution, but I can see disadvantages of some of the proposed solutions.  Not selling it to a foreign company is my preference but after that I have no idea of the best path / solution with the least impact for all. Whats your view Sue ?
