It's OK. The one at the Plough isn't.


But where does the council get off allowing a thing of beauty like the right hand side of the hospital to be knocked down, then green lighting highly 'individual' murals all over the manor?


And if there was general consensus that we all hate the thirty foot tall mad hatter bee/ant, who's going to scrub it off?

I went to see the mural going up and spoke to the artist himself, what a cool guy! He is all about vegan food, equality and contentiousness - that's his philosophy. I love what he is all about. I guess the owners identified with the artist in the idea healthy eating. Apart from this - loving all the murals in Dulwich - they give a bit of light in the dark of the winter, finally we have some cool pictures to look at.

The clue is that carrot-in-a-beerglass logo... a lamb chop woud have been much more decorative/enticing.

I hear he is using vegan spray paint too*.

I like the crapping dog. It's based on part of a picture in the Dulwich Picture Gallery.


A somewhat obscure part of the picture, admittedly.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
