What with Oliver Boner being the Foxtons of tat shops does this mean some of our traditional, well established and er, useful tat shops will go to the wall?


If that's the case I will happily give time and expertise to defend the rights of tat shop owners to operate without fear of these tat chains muscling in with their slightly cheaper wonky candle stick holders and grossly marked up klobber.

Thanks ed_pete, great post and a very thoughtful suggestion but I come from a long line of hedonists and I am already halfway through writing Jah Lush's Book of Decadence but haven't had the time to finish it yet due to a serious case of partying of late.


I too would be glad to buy you a drink at the next Forum jolly-up.

I got that Banksy book a lot cheaper in Fop/Fopp (spelling?) near the Charing Cross Road a week or so back :)

Oliver Bonas is shit. It's the apogee of Claphamite guff selling utterly useless tat to morons with money to burn. I can only hope that East Dulwich does to OB as Forest Hill did to MacDonalds and they are forced to close. There's a happy medium you know.

If only there was a way that both Oliver Bonas and Foxtons could be razed to the ground at the same time.

It breaks my heart to see firms like them move to Dulwich, they must know there's a market for their evil.

The shops will only come if the victims are they to keep them in business.


and they are very much there.


wasnt some uninspired hack bleating on about the gentrification of ED in a column in teh times a while ago ? IIRC, she did say she moved from Battersea/Fulham/Clapham or whatever faceless poohole she was in before to escape the all bar one-isation of the area ?


are the two events linked ?


Influx of victims from expensiver flat land to small victorian house land with their young/ not yet birthed family


Influx of overpriced tat shops and Delis catering to the new influx ?



erm, maybe Im being a bit ole skool marxist here, but surely "YOU" & "YOUR LOT" are the reason for the gentification & you shoulbnt blame the shops for trailing along - thats what they do , its hardly odd retail behavior


It doesnt help that such slob lazy journalism seem to consgtantly reiterate what a great place ED is - mainly cos theyse all moving here and dont have an original idea to fill their columns ?



maybe a move to Thamesmead opr Plumstead would have ensured you could have kept the gentrifation of your new manor at bay for a while longer ?



Wait there - Snorkys got it - all you hacks out there - start to slag off ED - describe it as the Bronx of SE London and describe the drive by shootings and pools of blood on the street and the pitiful all night wailing of the blood spattered victims- that would keep the thrusting interlopers + the gentrifiers away wouldnt it ?


Oh, wait there, it would also cause a fall in house prices and we vant have that can we


Hmmmmmmmmmm

Snorky, sorry a bit of thread here, but have you got short fat fingers or has somebody jumbled up the keys on your keyboard for a laugh?


OB may well up the anti for some of our more established crap tat shops. They'll just have to be a bit more original than buying everything via Top Drawer every year.

    • Another strong recommendation from me from Peckham Rye area. Paul sent Damian to sort out our tripping sockets. We’d had another electrician come and try to fix it a couple of weeks earlier who was not good, but Damian was extremely thorough and methodical in diagnosing the issue and fixing it. He tested every socket to make sure the problem was sorted. He arrived bang on time and talked me through exactly what he was finding and how the problem had likely come about as he went. Very polite, friendly and excellent value for money. Wouldn’t hesitate to call them again if we need an electrician. Great team,  great service!

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
