Artist Taxi Driver mentions Dulwich [WARNING: strong language]

WARNING: Strong language


Don't know if this has already been posted. Very funny on Dulwich 'farmers' market'.

And this one on the bankers is fab (he does talk a lot of sense - bear in mind the ranting is his performance trademark, but certainly speaks for many people, myself included):

Enjoy.

I suppose I found it particularly amusing because I myself have recently discovered the joys of Lidl (so cheap they couldn't afford a second vowel - my joke) and now shop there regularly for essentials because I refuse to be ripped off by Sainsbury's. In fact, Lidl's veg are very good indeed! I also love East Dulwich market.


However, his rant about the bankers is especially apt. And do remember he is a performance artist. He is not as stupid as he might come over.


By the way, admin, why has this been moved to the lounge when the first video mentions [East] Dulwich?

All he's done for the first one - it would seem - is trawled the EDF and lifted the comments on Franklin's 'Farm Shop' and those on the tat-mock-antique-furniture that has been for sale at NthX Rd market and that little 'antique' shop that used to be down near Blackbird Bakery.


Maybe his next rant will be about foie gras..

    • 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" ?
    • 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.
