Blimey Alicia, when I finished reading your post I had to grab it by the shoulders and shake it until it stopped being hysterical. Nice, that is, getting the rest of us all riled up and then nobbing off to a rural idyll.


Yo, Alicia! Chill! (As the young offenders would likely as not say).

Yeah Keef, I read through and nearly pissed my pants at thought all those ferel kids descending on East Dulwich. Normally I pack a rod in pyjamas but now I carry nothing but scars from Normandy Beach. Run for the Hills (Dog Kennel Hill, Forest or Herne Hill). Take yer pick.

I haven't been on this thread either much lately, but blimey, I'm open-mouthed to come across this c**p from Alicia. Scaremongering doesn't even start to describe it.


It's great to see the vast majority of posters on the thread have common sense and a heart.


Sooner she moves out of ED the better, it seems to me. Hope I never get to meet her in the meantime .....

Oh dear. This could very well signal the beginning of the end for the area.


Perhaps we (the community) should start some form of protest group or petition?


Has anybody contacted the local MP?


I wonder if Foxtons would be kind enough to host such a petition in their ample front office (but away from buyers, obviously!)? Prospective vendors could sign it when putting their property on the market.


Failing that, a wall could be erected at the periphery of LL with entrance controlled by some form of residents permit scheme.


Just a thought, like.

I've no idea who you are, Jamma....but that last commemt is disgusting. Keep thoughts like that to yourself. The forum has a wide cast net. You've not idea who you could upset.

Hey maybe they will steal the fence and melt it down for scrap ! actually thats a bleedin good idea,


(A) Fence gets removed at no cost to the tax payer

(B) Council get to claim insurance money

© council give insurance money to friends of goose green to redevelop the play area

(D) Youth offenders make a load of money for the scrap and use that to invest in decent Columbian nose pipe

(E) Youth offenders then supply decent Columbian nose pipery to the masses on lordship lane, now everyones happy !

    • 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" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
