>>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).

    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
