>>Any one checked out the new posh cookery shop near Goose Green roundabout? Opened on Tuesday this week.<<


Well I looked through the window but the shelves seemed fairly bare. Looks like it may be a cross beteween an Elizabeth David-type shop and one similar to the cookshop in Beckenham. Wonder if they will stock "Le Creuset" or AGA pans? B)


The chaps were also planting lots of new saplings along the bottom end of LL too.

The kitchen shop is another welcome addition to ED. It's independently owned and operated by a family living up on Dog Kennel Hill. It's simply something they've wanted to do for a while and have now taken the step.


I went inside on opening day and it's a nice shop. Yes the shelves were a little empty but what do you expect on day 1? All of the stuff in the shop is quality and of course in tradition with an independent local business operating in LL is a bit pricier than your average chain store. A price we ED'ian's should be willing to pay though to keep these types of business in the area and the other type out.


FYI - I read some figures the other day that suggested every ?10 spent in a locally owned and operated store is effectively ?27 invested back into the local community.


Good luck to them.

I've got an idea for a new Lordship Lane shop. The shop would sell only two things: houses and flats. To attract buyers, I'd put photos of the aforementioned properties in the window, and underneath each photo I would put a number between 2 and 9, followed by a large number of zeroes. I'm confident that hundreds of passers by would be magnetically drawn to my window display, and I'd only need a few of them to actually step inside. Frankly I don't think it can fail. I'm surprised nobody has thought of it before.

Quaywe, just wait till you hear my other Dragon's Den beater - I'd set up a shoe shop, but (and here's the killer punch) DON'T PUT ANY shoes on display and keep the prices out of sight. People still numbed by their city bonuses come in to see what it's all about and before they know what's hit them, I've slipped a pair on their feet and stung them for ?300. All I need to do is find an empty shop somewhere trendy, I don't know, maybe North Cross Road?

People with huge city bonuses don't live in East Dulwich - who are you kidding? They live in Dulwich Village, Central London, Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Notting Hill (I could go on). I think you need to do a bit more research before you open anything on North Cross Road (or anywhere else for that matter).

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
