SeanMacGabhann Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 In a word - no. I used to go there to check it out and it was a good example of why traditional pubs are dying out. It might have been a laugh if you were known but otherwise..?And what's an honest laugh anyway when it's at home? Am I being dishonest by enjoying a pint in 72, EDT or Bishop?middle-class tat? yep, it mostly is. So? Compared to other kind of tat? Or empty shops?4 wheeled to death? It isn't always the middle classes driving the vans and big cars which I am just as likely to be run over by Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2330-26-lordship-lane-next-door-to-white-stuff-lounged/page/2/#findComment-67787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellenden Belle Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Lovely - I really like Oliver Bonas and I have always found their stuff to be far more interesting/ useful/ tasteful than the likes of Ed and Celestial. I get so bored of all that girly tat - Oliver Bonas is all about nice clean lines and clever design.It's a little bit like Mrs Robinson - but without the hefty price tags. And it really isn't that large a chain.And the clothes they do are rather lovely and rather good value.

Mark Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 2 hours and 25 minutes for "Clapham", "middle class" and "chain" to appear in this thread, I was actually expecting it to be sooner but I guess "she's" not around today. I was also waiting for "3 wheeled buggy" to appear but there, I've just said it so a full house.I quite like Oliver Bonas stuff, nice mirrors from what I can recall from visiting there other shops.[edited once] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2330-26-lordship-lane-next-door-to-white-stuff-lounged/page/2/#findComment-67790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I never actually had any problem with The Forresters, it was a bit rough, but I have got a few fond memories. Also, really don't like the way Dee was just shot down/dismissed... And you wonder why people can feel bitter sometimes.Aaaanyway, changing the subject.

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 true Dee is new - but the argument is as old as the hills and without any other frame of reference.... it was a very dismissive post in itself. I'm sure Dee is big enough to handle it and we can kiss and make uperr.... right Dee?

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 put that way it makes more sense - shame I'll miss Friday night now and the opportunity to have a pint and an honest laugh ;-)oops now we are off-topic and I can hear the administrator's footstepsRe: the shop itself. It seems fine for what it does but it isn't offering anything new to the area from what I can see (re-checks the website to see if they sell breadmakers...)

Ant Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm not sure it's what the area really needs. Or rather, I doubt the area needs quite so many gift shops - but whether this one or another already established one gets the economic, free-market heave-ho remains to be seen.I agree with ct that another clothes shop for men would be a welcome addition. ED's got some (but not much) OK-ish stuff. The blokes' bit in the White Stuff is pretty awful. Still, there's always Sainsbo's.

RosieH Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Fenton Walsh on Bellenden Road has some good men's stuff (not a huge quantity, but more interesting than White Stuff). Bonas is a bit boring and identikit, but I have realised that that is clearly what we all want or else these bloody shops wouldn't keep opening, so I will not moan and continue to buy my clothes outside the village.

MrBen Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Great. Crucial must have items at Oliver Bonas:- A floral hole punch (like you, I have always wanted one of those)- A floral garden tool set ( Total floral boll0cks )- A womens tool kit (as opposed to a mans tool kit) Pink boll0cks )- A rotating angel tea light candle holder ( Angel boll0cks )What a load of bollocks. MrBen is not impressed and would much rather a proper men's shoe shop. A hat shop. Or a trendy jeweller.

Ant Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 You'll be selling Americans?Given that many of us think ED is becoming overbegiftshopped, which one(s) do people think might be first to go belly up should the economy head south?I reckon Moo Too would struggle against the local competition.

SeanMacGabhann Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Moo Too looks the weakest to me as well. Say what you will about ED, Mrs Robinson et al - people buy stuff there. I've seen it.

MadWorld74 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Oliver Bonas.....very appropraite for ED.There's quite a few of them in the City, and of course Clapham. I am disappointed that there's to be one in LL. What really makes them that different from Celestial, ED and Mrs Rob?.....don't get me wrong I have bought a few bits from them before but that's because I was bored on my lunch hour and had nothing better to do than waste my cash. Theyre a chain in my eyes, just the WStuff.
