There goes the neighbourhood, next there will be Dragons atop of Dawson's Heights, Johnny White Walkers in the EDT and three eyed crows in Peckham Rye https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,2037466


Mark my words , Friday night fights just won't be the same once the Unsullied get involved

I'm not sure if it's "creepy", people have always been drawn to celebrities... it's only natural, if you're into a particular TV show or whatever. And to an extent it's part and parcel of pursuing a career in the public eye. There is a line, of course, but nobody is discussing what road they live on, posting secret photos of them, or anything like that.


However... saying that... I've not really heard of any of these people. (I mean, I've heard of Eastenders and Game Of Thrones, but wouldn't recognize any cast members - except for Sharon and the Mitchell brothers).

This, surely, is also about cognitive dissonance. By saying famous people (people we know/ have heard of) live around us we are trying to confirm our decision to live or stay here. If famous people shop where we shop then surely we must have taken the right location decisions? We gain, additionally, by osmosis, that their fame and fashionability will somehow rub off on us. I don't really think this is either creepy or in any way stalking. We have stumbled upon them in a public place, not searched for them in private ones.

I'd be interested in his view of this execrable thread and its longevity. Did you have a chance to discuss it?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
