Completely wrong in my case. In one particular shop in Crouch End, the manager gave a talk about his current line up of jeans, why they were special in terms of fabric and manufacturing. He also played some great Soul music during the time. Just goes to show how people with great taste in music have great taste in clothes. I'm pretty certain ????s will confirm this.


@Ms B


I believe in self-empowerment and my comments on stylists were geared towards your self-empowerment.


I also fully agree with your comments on bullying and a group of people bigging themselves up on this forum thinking they have a god given right to be the forum's mouth piece. The other thread involved passive aggression towards me but at the same time they were exposed for being a group of people bigging themselves without having any particular skill, talent or knowledge themselves.

I can confirm this for you UDT. ???? dresses in the finest Italian suits with a high thread count and silk content. He knows too well that the mix of fibres should be sufficient to maintain the shape of the cut whilst cooling in summer and providing a subtle aesthetic/luxurious feel. But catch him on a Saturday and he looks like a man who's been dragged through a Las Vegas poker house via Sports Direct.


His taste in music is however always impeccable.

Nah, Loz, only the style challenged thinks that.

I am most definitely style challenged! But not really too bothered by the fact.


I don't think soul music's crap or pretentious though. I really like a lot of the northern soul stuff (not really a fan of disco or all that 70s club soul stuff though).

Everybody's taste = different


Different taste does not = superior.


A lot (not all) "commercial music" is commercial because it's good and a lot of people wanted to buy it and listen to it. Not all commercial music is produced by the likes of Simon Cowell.

Indeed and many of us learned a long time ago that if you buy your clothes at Asda you have a lot more money to spend on Genesis tapes.


As demonstrated by the picture you posted earlier.

Show me a commercial music bass player who can play the bass better than Louis Johnson?

Back on topic.


I'm pretty certain I will never go into some west end shops because they are playing really loud, crappy MTV muzak. It's supposed to entive people in but just has the opposite effect on me.


But that's because I'm that 35 year old guy still wandering around River Island gradually realising that I cant wear any of it any more (and should have quit at about 27). When you get older it gets much harder so most people (if they ever cared about clothes) just become boring and play it safe. A personal shopper sounds poncy but they can help with that and find stuff in places you wouldn't normally go and break you out of a rut.

You think you have "special taste" in that you are somehow more enlightened than others.


Pretentious Bollox.

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
