Hello fairyuk27. I hope you're settling into the area. ED is a friendly area and like everywhere else caters for all tastes and opinions. However, if you find yourself meeting locals for the first time it may be wise to keep your views to yourself until you can gauge the opinions of the person you're talking to on the following areas of local contention:


Marks & Spencer/Waitrose versus Iceland/Co-op

Royal Wedding Street Parties

Local independent shops good value or too dear

Plastic bags

Dog Poo

Mums with children's buggies

Travellers parking on your street

Faith Schools

Whetherspoons pubs

Cars v cycling

Cultural differences between the Dulwich end of ED v Peckham end of ED

Late night opening and people being ill in your garden

Queuing up outside Purveyors of High Quality meat shops

First past the post versus AV voting


Depending on your views fairytuk27, within minutes you can be accused of fascism, nazism, racism, homophobia, being anti-scientific, anti-jewish, anti-poor and so on.


Welcome.

Welcome FairyUK - it's not always as fun as SiverFox makes it out to be, sometimes it can all workaday and rational.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
