That ad happened to come on the other day and my little boy was completely transfixed (didn't pay much attention at the time to see what was being advertised) - he's 16 months old - so I can only imagine that if you have a girl the right age you'd never hear the end of it. But hey, look on the bright side, there's now somewhere local you can go to buy the shoes and put an end to the pleading!

re: Lelli Kelli shoes... after over a year of (intermittent) pleading and begging, i finally caved and bought my daughter a pair for her 5th birthday. i spent a small fortune on them (they were her ONLY birthday gift from us) and she has worn them, um, MAYBE three times since then (four months ago). so... i've learned my lesson. there will be no such momentary weaknesses in my future... no shoes with toys in the sole (have you heard of these crazy things?), nor shoes with roller skates in the heel. plimsolls and mary janes for school. maybe some wellies. i have only myself to blame. :-$

So Lelly Kellys have got toys in the sole. In my younger days we had WAYFINDERS. Stout black lace-ups, the kind William Brown used to wear.On the soles were raised animal footprints, badger deer etc which would stencil into any muddy or soft surface you walked on. Until of course they wore away. But best of all in the right shoe there was a little flap in the heel, lift it up and hey presto, a compass. Fantastic.

I lived on Waterloo Road at the time and there was no wildlife to speak of, and annoyingly I never once got lost and had cause to use the compass.

Still they were both there if I needed them.

I have never seen so much SNOBERRY and PREJUDICE!!!I am digusted! I live in Croydon and for you and HonaloochieB to make such comments about Croydon you have to be both of these. To judge people for where they live and assume they are all the same is out of order. Just because some of you were "born with a silver spoon in your mouths" doesn't give you the right judge others that weren't.


By the way before you judge me as well, my parents are educated, me and my husband are educated and both running our own businesses; but that doesn't mean I despise people less fortunate than me.


And what is this gathering of snobbs throwing such nasty comments at your local shoe shop? I just can't understand it and feel sorry for that shop, well actually in all fairness no publicity is bad publicity.


SHAME ON YOU!

I have no idea why people are so upset about this shoe-shop either. I think several people have gone OTT in their attacks on it. Either shop there or don't but I can't see why this seemingly unassuming (in a boudoirish kind of way) little shop attracts so much ire


And I'll make no great claims about East Dulwich either - BUT.. come on. Croydon. I have several friends who live there. ALL of them want to leave. I've gone out several times in Croydon and bar the Beer Circus (now closed) it's.... a typical British "new town". Like Swindon. (I've lived there too). You live there and you are happy and that's great but you must be able to see why people (and not just on this forum. Most newspapers have a go. It didn't do too well in those CrapTown books either) take the proverbial? Don't take it so personally

Ahhahhahhhhahahhhhahhahhahahha LOfarkinL - Are you sure?


To add - why do you care so much eh?


Sorry - have to add more - to register and post first time just to defend this shop surely smacks of an ulterior and defensive motive. We don't really care and most people on here are not snobs.

I went in the shop the other day with an open mind and it is SHIT. Personally for those prices I'll spend a few more quid and buy a decent pair of shoes from M Louboutin.

Out of all the shops that have opened , I for the life of me can't understand why THIS one is getting so much flak.... I really can't


I have no connection to them and am unlikely to be their target audience but give them a chance - what have they done to anyone?

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
