I don't know its name, but in the early 90s it sold cut-price Levis, did tailoring, and had a stack of porn mags in the back. Somewhere off Lordship Lane. Black middle aged gent who ran it, said it was a good distraction for blokes out shopping with their other halves.


Meanwhile do we have any local shops (or wider) with funny names to compete with: (I've visited the boutique in France, but it doesn't quite live up to its name)

It was on Whateley Rd, junction with Cyrena Rd I think. It's converted to a house now. Bloke would try feel you up as he 'fitted' your jeans and make pseudo-homosexual small talk in hope of giving you a semi-on.

You were invited to glance at the magazines out back while changing. Like you've popped-in to buy some jeans but fancy a bit of porn while at it - hmmm right.

Can't remember his name/name of his shop but it's mentioned on another thread about old shops back in the 90s.

It's still there. They have some hardcore stuff - giraffe head and necks, elephant heads, whole hippos... and an Arkful of smaller animals.

    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
    • Was it the two proxy votes that had swung it for Cllr McAsh in the first round? Interesting that he lost by two votes in the second. One wonders what the next move for Cllr McAsh is and whether the infighting will continue between the various factions within Southwark Labour?
    • Has anything emerged as to how the reported misinterpretation of rules ruling out proxy votes occurred, or what the specific fault was?  I've found and looked through https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Labour-group-model-standing-orders-2023.pdf, which afaics seems to be a prime relevant document.  It allows for local council Labour groups making minor amendments to cater for their council's particular form of organisation.  I've not seen any _explicit_ mention of proxy voting in the model SOs document itself.  I'm  attaching my notes on it.     re_Labour-Group-Model-SOs.txt
