I can see the promo video now. People emerging form the side streets off LL, singly or in twos and threes at first , making the odd excited chirp, then merging into columns as they move along LL, their stridulations mounting to a frenzy as they reach Poundland's door.

Will it follow the style of the new "golden arches" promo and use the music by yello "oh yeah"

The window coverings give a lot of (obviously, pro-Poundland) info, including that prices will not be higher than in their larger shops and various statements on the company’s environmental and charity credentials. I think the big bosses are well aware of the brickbats thrown at the firm and so are striking back.

Saw today across front of shop

“Reverse gentrification ? ‘

Could east dulwich get anymore cringe

 

I assumed you meant this was graffiti, which would have been pretty cringeworthy, but in fact it's Poundland's own publicity material, which is immensely cringeworthy.

Ok, own up. Who was it that said this quoted in The Sun??


One fumed in an online forum: "How am I expected to push past all those tracksuits while I'm carrying a selection of cheeses from Mons (a local posh cheesemongers) not to mention the quince paste."


"You know, there may be a few scraps outside all of a sudden"

A classic bit of Sun journalism 🤣

It's quite disheartening to see a Poundland opens in East Dulwich to be honest.

Every time I've been to one of these stores, all they seem to have on offer in term of food are unhealthy snacks, like confectionary, sodas and crisps. really don't see any cause for celebration.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
