Those prices should have guaranteed that Kerry Catona at least turned up seeing as she was booked.

FYI, Oliver Boner is part-owned by Iceland hence the off-liste celeb sharing.


I might have got the wrong end of a fabulous yet useless stick on this but shall persist.

I for one must disagree. overpriced is not exactly the word i would use. i find it no different then any other retailer on our high street and please don't disagree i shop all of the time in ED. I think it adds one more option for us to spoil ourselves, friends and family. Good for OB! finally a London born privately owned shop that has proven their success.


As for miserable staff - sorry you thought so. I work in Islington and go to the shop there on a regular basis and have been met by bright smiles, a fun atmosphere and great help. I ventured into the ED shop on the weekend to be nosy and found it much the same everyone seemed to be having a good time in a packed out shop.


I don't understand why people on here are always so negative. something good comes to town takes a chance on the market and more than likely will succeed.


before you ask...no i don't work there...


See you at Cafe Nero... if you can find a seat cause it is so busy all the time.

    • 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 🤣
