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

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
