i'm obviously generalising RH, nothing personal. I can't do a one-liner that summarises all (however many) 1000s of users !

If there was a like or dislike function for each post then maybe there wouldn't be so many responses to some posts.

Many would be satisfied to just like or dislike rather than make a comment.

Admin don't suppose there's any chance of adding that functionality ?

Also it appears on any thread where "foreigners" migrant British are involved by the second page racism becomes the topic bonkers.

I've missed a treat of a thread here. For my bit, I really like Dulwich DIY, friendly and competitively priced, just the sort of shop we need in the area to keep that sense of functionality and yes 'normality' going! Street displays have been a part of London's eclectic retail tradition for centuries, don't see why the council or anyone else should suddenly find it offensive now?

I think the problem is that whilst some retailers (Farmers) have merchandise outside it is in a space not occupying the pavement.

Space belonging to the shop. Doesn't Dulwich DIY have stuff on the pavement. ??

Great shop though.. Valuable asset to E.D.

I know this may not be the case, but I find it offensive when long standing businesses - (to use that well worn, but in this case well earned phrase), "a local institution" - are criticised for something they've done for decades, donkeys years if you prefer. They're survivors. They do what they do well, and are part and parcel of what ,ales this neighbourhood great. The council want to stuff them in a predictable money grabbing exercise, stuff the fact a local independent business is doing well and surviving in tough times, the council just want more money. Greedy I say. And to top that, we get a bunch of nimby keyboard warriors wanting to inflame the situation by nit picking over a pretty non offensive issue to begin with.

Haven't all shops along that strip had the same letter

All the local Cllrs have been very quiet on this

None of the shops in Rye Lane have merchandise outside on the pavement. Not quite sure how the LL shops have been alliwed to do this unless they have negotiated with Southwark. Nothing against individual shops but the pavement space should be used for pedestrians.
