Obviously, if you're not in their target market, you could care less about the sort of shop it is but having been in their twice in recent weeks (after being in there all of once before since it's opening) I wanted to big this place up too (see Franklin's thread for other shout out)


Very friendly staff, a small but select range of products (not me buying for the most part, was with someone who works in the beauty trade who was suitably impressed).


So, as with the Franklin's thread it sounds like I'm arbitrarily picking out a business for over-praise but, putting my money where my mouth is it's local businesses like these that make the area worthwhile - It could be a (rhymes with Hush) for cryin out loud..

No worries - and I hear what you are saying. I'm not claiming they are cheap or even always value-for-money


That said I didn't see any salts for ?30. I got some good aftershave for less than that so.... if some people choose to buy them there salts, that's up to them. Plenty of other places selling them cheaper so no harm done


My point was more about how good the service was and (bathsalts notwithstanding) how good some of the product was


Pricing generally as an issue... doesn't really bother me. If I can't afford something I can't afford it - but that doesn't necessarily (note the qualification!) mark a place down



By the way Monkey - show a lady some respect ;-)

Dulwichmum some of the stock of that shop would be found elsewhere in Dulwich. Ren was originally in Dulwich Village,in i think its called Jill Holland,they were building therapy rooms for the ren treatments but someone decided to copy them. Dr Hauschka originally brought to East Dulwich By Healthmatters. I cannot comment on the rest of the products because i do not know what else they stock,i have heard the staff are nice and polite.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By David Peckham · Posted

      It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
