MrChoo must have owed his second cousin a favour. This wont be doing his reputation any good at all. Surely as Mentor he should have said something right from the start.... the name of the shop for starters... in any case, she has a SALE on already. Perhaps she wont even see the year out.... perhaps she should head back down Bromley way

bland bland bland middle aged shoes on northcross road (correction - in the however long it's been there, I have seen one nice pair). davina may be tat, (although I've said it before, I've seen a couple of good uns) but by golly they're young and spunky. problem is that we folks of ED just ain't. we LIKE the White Stuff. well some of us.

There isn't a single shop in the area that I would deem 'good taste', so Davina Boutique fits into the area well. I saw 4 'Dulwich Daddies' running about in their Crocs today, which was enough to make me storm out of the park in a fit of pique. At least one of the men, who was chasing his toddler around and talking ghastly 'parentese', had a beige pair on...fairly inconspicuous.

On topic - good luck to Davina Boutique. She has presumably done some research on the area before opening up shop. I've thought over the years several shops would go bust, and they seemingly never have. I would not be so impertinent as to state why I think this is.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
