I did almost all of my Xmas shopping locally last year and will try to this year. Roullier White was where I spent the most - bought some beautiful scarves and French perfume, also Nina Christie for jewellery (bought some wonderful earrings for my daughter).It's also less stressful than shopping malls and there is a wonderful atmosphere on Lordship Lane at Christmas.

xxxxxxx


Forgot to say, Chener's have a great new (ish) section at the back of the shop for children's books.


You are likely to be very tempted, though :)

Who are you?

Just to add our support for shopping locally this Christmas. The Heber School Parents & Friends Association has been asking local businesses to donate raffle prizes for our Christmas fair next Saturday (see the events listings for details) and we have been blown away by the generosity of the local traders on and around the lane. We know times are tough but they have all dug deep and supported their local primary school.


We will do a separate post thanking everyone shortly but in the meantime we at the P&F intend to do all our shopping in East Dulwich this year as a more practical way of expressing gratitude!

GGPTA would like to echo the sentiments of Heber P&F above. We too ask for raffle prizes twice a year (at our Summer and Christmas fairs) and try to target those businesses where the school parents and teachers shop/eat/drink. We recognise that there are lots of schools and other charities doing the same and the good grace and generosity of those local traders is really gratifying and much appreciated, it makes us very proud to be part of this community.


Best wishes for a busy, profitable Christmas and New Year from GGPTA to those business on and around Lordship Lane, Northcross Road, Melbourne Grove and Bellenden Road.

We've just picked up some gorgeous lamp shades for our house, and dish cloths as stocking fillers From lush designs where soup dragon used to be - really beautiful designs and looks different.


This year we're doing all our shopping locally to support all the local businesses that we love.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
