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?

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
