Off to hospital this afternoon to see a friend's child who's been taken in with suspected appendicitis. Haven't time to get to a bookshop, obviously sweets not appropriate; I'm a bit out of touch with these things, could anyone suggest magazines (preferably stocked by DKH Sainsbury's as passing it on the way) that would be a hit with a bright, literate six-year-old girl? Any tips gratefully received!


Thanks,


Rendel

Many thanks will be visiting again soon so will keep an eye out.

So far as I know you can only get it on subscription, not in shops?


I agree it's a great magazine for kids.


Rendel, you could ask the girl's parent/s for suggestions? Otherwise you could duplicate something she has already been given?

Agree. Whenever I have to buy a sprog a present I always ask their parents first, they usually know what their children like...

I think it's being sold up in the dulwich picture gallery shop at the moment.

Yes quite right, usually would, but they're so traumatised at the moment - taking it in turns to sleep by her bed for the last week (it's been a bit more complex than originally thought) that they haven't much time to think of treats! Thanks again for all the kind suggestions, much appreciated.

    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • 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….
