I think Gok is great! Unlike your typical makeover ice queens he seems passionate, sincere and genuinely interested in the women on his show. Once met some members of a film crew who'd worked with him and they said he was great (they had a lot of negative stuff to say about various other diva-ish TV presenters).


Go Gok!

Ahhhh, AnnaJ - I love Gok Wan - I didn't see that particular programme, but yes,I often shed a tear. (Also thank you for your kind words about my fashion sense .... not sure I agree, but lovely to hear!)


And to be honest David Carnell - from what I have read Gok Wanm was actually bullied because of his weight problem. I think that probably explains his empathetic and compassionate approach - rather than being critical and demeaning like other fashion gurus. Our experiences shape us in the same way that apples and cocaine might shape our exterior selves!


Hoorah for Gok Wan!

Oooh, DC - don't worry.... I hope I didn't sound too stern .... I'm very protective of poor Gok, aren't I?


Taking of makeover/ trash/ self-help telly - did anyone catch Fergie doing her stuff... I watched the first episode but not last night... she was with a family up North sorting out their diet. I actually liked her. Knocked the socks off Gillian Quack McKeith - or whatever that witch's name is ....

That's "Doctor" Gillian McKeith to you, James!


I think she's more like Skeletor from He-Man myself.

Spot the difference!

Oh, Annaj, I saw that programme and it was fantastic - I don't usually like reality TV but I think his approach is excellent. Good on the woman, and good on "Apples Gok".


And BB I have refrained from offering you any advice on the tights/leggings thingy because I live in trousers and know nothing about dresses. (I tried to wear trousers to my wedding and only wore a dress in the end because my poor mother was so distraught.) But I'm sure you will look amazing, and confident. If you're feeling bold but not quite turquoise bold, what about tights/leggings/socks in a purple-toning shade of deep pink?

But Moos - if I was tall like you I'd live in trousers too! Most of the time I look like a farmer's wife in trousers...

Ooooh, wedding dresses - I loved mine! Not that I could fit in it now .... I was two stone lighter then... can you imagine - two stone!

Mmmm, don't think I'm brave enough to do deep pink - I fear I will look like Zandra Rhodes! Though with her strong connection to the Bellenden Regeneration area that probably is quite befitting...

I like Gok and think he has a fantastic attitude to women of all shapes and sizes but do think having seen a couple of the programmes that they are terribly formulaic. Also I simply cannot believe that women who claim to hate themselves THAT much would strip off in public.

What an interesting insight...


For my 2p, I can't stand the leggings thing, either wear tights or nout ffs!


That said, I know nout about what's in and what's not, and I find a lot of trends to be really ugly, so I'll shut up.


It's at times like this when I am so pleased to be a bloke!

Hee hee Keef - even I'm a little shocked by this thread.

I mean here we are on our second page of discussing tights versus leggings versus knee highs... and we still haven't solved the problem of world peace.


And I blush to think that I have been responsible for the most vacuous thread on the forum to date.


I'm a very serious person really. Even when wearing turquoise knee-high socks!


Right next up ...waxing, shaving or sugaring ...relax, I'm kidding...

It is the context I don?t get it?s mentioned in-between waxing and shaving. So I?m assuming it has something to do with hair removal. I just cannot imagine how one could use sugar to get rid of hair.


What do you do, sprinkle it on? Rub cubes on yourself? Does it rot your hair away in the same way it does your teeth?

      Old bottle shop on Whateley Road?

      By tds_ · Posted

      Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you

      Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
