I have got a navy blue, soft cotton, cap-sleeved, scoop-neck t-shirt that I picked up many years ago whilst working in Mumbai.


To this day, its still a favourite item of clothing and I'd hate to be without it. I had no idea when I bought it that I would end up liking it (and wearing it) so much.


Anything in your wardrobe that you've become ridiculously attached to? unexpectedly or not...

I am ridiculously attached to everything in my wardrobe Katie numbers. I'm surprised you felt the need to ask! Sheesh.


I won't ever be getting rid of anything again. From now on everything's for keeps. Here's why...

I wore my grandfather's fringed, white satin evening scarf when I went on a date with D**** L*****, as I thought it would make me look a little bit like Morten Harket. We went to Wimpy and to see Beverley Hills Cop. I did not get in to Beverley Hills Cop as it was a 15.


Karen called her dad to come and get her. She did not have change for the payphone so I gave her 10p. I remember when I handed the coin to her it was boiling hot from having been in the pocket of my flecked, polyester trousers. She looked at me with what I now understand to be sympathy, but which I mistook at the time for disgust. A fine line, I suppose.


I still have the scarf (but not the trousers).

A couple of long sleeved, fine knit linen wrap cardies I bought from East quite some years ago. Have darned them a few times in an effort to keep them going but I know it is only a matter of time. Will be gutted when they give up the ghost eventually as I can't find anything like them anywhere now :(
In answer to the question I'd have to say none. If I were burning my clothes I'd probably leave till last the various customised t-shirts I've been given over the years to celebrate an annual reunion with my brothers. They sort of mean something.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
