M&S clothes have been at least a size bigger than everyone else's for as long as I can remember ( a long, long time :)) )


I've always thought it's to make you think you're a size 10 when actually you're nearer a size 14 :)):)):)) and you're so pleased you can fit into a 10 you buy whatever it is :)):)):))

The White Stuff

A lot of us like to wear clothes that are safe and unimaginative. If I started walking around dressed like Gok Wan I'd look and feel like a right tool!


Saw the signage of this Davina place yesterday and it looks mighty Gaudy, as does that new Curry place (Jaflong?).

OMG whilst sitting outside the Palmerston last night I noticed their sign for the first time .....


Is it supposed to be ironic in some way?


Is it intended to relate to the style of the shoes?


AAAARRRGGGGHHH !!!!!


I never thought I'd wish for that "art" shop to come back .....


:-S

Sugar is good, Petals cant afford, *hite Stuff not my bag.....and now Davina Shoes.

Sweet baby Jesus now I'm depressed. My feet would leap up and punch me in the mouth if I dared to wear. Right I'm going to watch the Euro horror Vision to cheer myself up.

I'm sticking up for White Stuff! It's just basic daytime clothing, perhaps not very exciting, but it's in keeping with a lot of what you see people wearing up and down LL.


Wore a WS top myself last weekend - pleasing combination of slightly boho with serious cleavage - and didn't notice anyone complaining.

On topic - we do not need another shoe shop. We definitely do not need any more Estate Agencies. We do not need any more over priced 'tat for the home' shops, and no more 'baby tat' shops either.

In truth I'd have preferred a Gap or M&S instead of White Stuff' - at least the clothes in the aforementioned are reasonably affordable. And if you're going to go bland then why pay over inflated prices for it?


Still, most of these shops seem to survive in ED, even though they are largely empty during the week. They would go bust in surrounding areas like Forest Hill, Honor Oak and Sydenham. What does that tell you!?



Because white stuff have a good record with regards to sourcing clothes from non-sweat shop suppliers perhaps?


There is a counter-argument that expensive shops also use sweat-shops and pocket the difference but White Stuff seem to get the thumbs up from the independent organisations which police these things

In pride of place in the window is a teddy bear sitting on top of what appears to be a pile of rolled-up disposable nappies, complete with pink bow.


??????


If you had just had a baby, would you want to be given a present reminding you that you were in for several years of nappy changing??


:-S


Edited to add: I'm not even going to comment on the aesthetic aspect - ooops, I did

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
