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.

      Cat Flap

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x

      Charisma gymnastics - dates & costs

      By TreacleRabbit · Posted

      Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks

      Excellent electrician - Paul Edgley

      By TorW · Posted

      ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
