Has anyone else noticed a distinctly late start to proceedings this year? Lordship Lane shops and bars were noticably quieter on Friday /Saturday than they should have been, takings down, less people about than this time last year...our annual City work bash (for clients too) was 65% last years turnout...but... looking at our bar tab they actually drank MORE.


I saw an early outrider santa hat at lunch in the last week of November, but only this week have proceedings felt festive.

Have you been drinking?


I noticed the lane being very quiet when I was out recently. Liqourish on a saturday night was very quiet but I thought being the last weekend of november explained that.


Suspect there is a general low level of expectation this year. Could just be age though. Christmas is for young people.

    • 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.
    • 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.
