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

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
