If the premises were rent-free, guess what I bet sweet prices would be cheaper !

Bought some confection today, standard stuff, hard to get wrong.

If you can get sweets 49p cheaper (or whatever) got to the other place instead if you prefer.

Great shop for LL IMO.

The shoppe frontte is terriblye naffe, however as mentioned above it's a franchise so that's what it has to be.


Behind the signage is someone who's put in a load of work and wants to make a success of it - which is more important. Anyway there's no shortage of other proper eyesores in the area so not really worth getting in too much of a lather about this.


As long as they have my personal sugar tipple I will be in for that. And if they don't.. I'm gonna go nuclear.

Good luck to anyone starting a new business in a challenging climate. Regardless of my thoughts on the shop, I commend anyone taking a risk and wish them well. I?d rather have any well put together shop than an empty one. Also, the shop owner has shown keenness and smarts attempting to communicate with his new community, not everyone does that. I say welcome, good luck and fingers crossed for you.

It's funny that Sue's comment before was called trolling as I read her comment as such myself. VelvetBlueberry explained that she was not connected to the store, so your question was either an unnescessary (poor) joke, or it was a troll remark...


Does anyone have evidence linking VelvetBlueberry to the shop...?


It's like some people won't accept differing opinions. Surely they are old enough.


I look forward to visiting the shop myself. I am not much of a sweet eater, however, it might be nice to treat myself...

The previous thread was deleted and as I recall, she was asked what her connection to the shop was...


If your question was a joke Sue then I just thought it was silly given the thread history, however, if serious then I had to wonder if you were trying to derail this thread. You did write previously that you weren't going to give the shop your custom...


Trolling can vary in severity, and I thought yours was tame, however, VelvetBlueberry expressed that she disliked the previous accusation, so why try to wind her up? That's what I wondered.

I did not see all the previous thread before it was deleted.


My reasons on the other thread for not giving the shop my custom, if I said that which I can't remember, were because of posts by the owner early in the thread, which he subsequently deleted and which I have no intention of repeating here.


I am not a troll and was not trying to wind anybody up.


ETA: I have said above why I asked the question. It is one thing to effusively praise a new shop. It is another thing to write derogative comments about a shop next door to it selling similar products.

So you're allowed to call this new sweet shop a "hideous eyesore" but I'm not allowed to share my opinion on M&S'

hideously inedible spray-painted chocolate? Lol... Okay.


I don't know why you're so incapable of putting two & two together & realising I was making a personal preference as to where I'd want to go for an "overpriced" edible gift. Don't worry, M&S isn't going out of business. They recieve my custom every day & despite my oh so terrible opinion on their chocolate gifts, they do have nice cheap chocolates in there too.


Phew! At least someone here has some common sense... Thank you, Maybaby.


Apparently enthusiasm is a crime these days.

Eh?


Where have I called this shop a "hideous eyesore"?


ETA: oh yes, I did. I used the words "hideous" and "eyesore," In separate sentences in a totally unrelated thread in the lounge. But not as you have quoted me.


ETA: And I specifically said that I was saying it on that thread where hardly anybody would be likely to see it. But hey ho. I stand by my view. I just didn't want it made so public as you have just done, for obvious reasons. Thanks for that.


ETA: Let's just stop this now. I shall be more careful in future about posting my opinions on a local forum I've been using for nearly thirteen years.

Well well. The fragrant Blah Blah returns, right on cue :))


Funnily enough I was just thinking about you this morning :))


You really can't resist giving yourself away, can you? I'm collecting screenshots :)) :)) :))


ETA: If anybody new to the forum doesn't realise, you can click on people's name and see their past posts (at least, back to when the forum was reorganised by admin a while ago).


So you can click on my name and see how much sanctimonious crap I've posted.


Depending on your definitions of sanctimonious and crap, of course.


I'd reckon probably about 0.001% :))

The moderation of these forums is very sketchy. It's almost as if they favour this provocative behaviour (& I don't mean the type that has people so politically correct they can't handle an opinion that clashes with their own).



ANYHOO. Feel free to discontinue reading from this point if you're likely to get your knickers in a twist over a positive/enthusiastic comment :)



- I had my eye on the strawberries & cream gourmet popcorn, closest & most visible from the window, days before the shops official opening - it was totally worth the wait!


I'm also obsessed with violet anything so I was happy to see they had dark chocolate French Violet creams along with other flavours like English Rose (which I also love), lemon (tempted to get for my mum), mint (also tempting) & others that I can't remember off the top of my head.


...& Kola Kubes! They really take me back to my 90s childhood.

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

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      By beansprout · Posted

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….

      Vet recommendation

      By Angelina · Posted

      Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
