Princess Anne recently made overtures to the fashion industry by having some of her designer tops remodelled which drew sneers from the press, I rather admired her not throwing out her old stuff, and getting them revamped.


Good for you Annie, I am not a royalist but she gets more points from me than all her idiotic brothers.

Ratty brands and incoherent English. Such a good look.

"Yep, it's a myth that the Italians are stylish. Crap leather jackets, tracksuits, ponytails, and stupid pointy shoes can be observed in abundance along the full length of the country."


Yes but none of them (Italians) would wear a short sleeve shirt paired with a tie, chinos and cornish pasty shoes like many of my British work mates.


The Italians' main downfall is a sheep-like adherence to designer labels - think fake Moncler jacket and YSL handbag (both girls and boys) - and they have ruined the British icon that was Belstaff (which is now Italian owned) by recreating the classic Trialmaster jacket in nylon. Che barba!!

Hehehe, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed Captain Scarlett's interesting choice of labels..


Btw Captain Scarlett, I used to work in the buying office of Armani and you might as well be buying George Armani given that they make all their clothes in China, with the odd stitch done in Italy so they can sell you a suit for a ?1000. More fool you I say.


I couldn't give a stuff what other people wear, it's up to the individual to find things that they feel comfortable and good in. I've seen many a non fatty wearing tracksuits.

I'm sorry but the 'George Amani' and 'Bennaton' does it for me because you seem to be making a point that you're somehow better than others because you choose labels over tracksuits..but you can't even get the labels' spellings right! (that deserved an exclamation point).


If your argument was about quality or style choices then you could have chosen to highlight these rather than the labels you buy into. To me this says far more to me about you than anyone who wears a tracksuit.


The above posters summed it up in their quotes from The Devil Wears Prada- there is no industry more commercial than the fashion industry and although I like clothes, being a slave to fashion trends and brands just make me think of sheep buying into a massive marketing spin. But then of course, that's what the industry wants! Enjoy your Timberland boots!

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      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?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      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….
