Oh - lordy this thread has made me SMILE. I went out with one of the Long Acre Flip sales 'boys' back in 1988 for a very short time, when I was a London University student. He was called Ben, and he was absolutely drop dead gorgeous (spit of David Gandy). All very loose cut, worn Levis' 501s brought in tight at the waist with a belt. Ha!

I'm quite amazed that Flip remains in the memory

Of so many.


I use to work there part time and later

Full time when I left school.

I stood out a bit because I was a provincial 'soul boy/casual' from

Greenhithe village now ( Bluewater )amongst these wonderful

Eclectic staff which included rockabillies, boy George clones and the 501 , cowboy boot wearing crew.

I think the staff were as memorable as the clothing.

Charles,Patrick ,rick,roberto etc . I miss them all ....good times.

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
