Capacious interior for the 'distract-and-pocket' ploy, large windows with extensive forecourt area to enable full sledgehammer swing, access to lots of side roads for a motorcycle getaway, yes - they should do well.


I wonder if they'll store the 5k rings in one of the little garages out the back?

What would you prefer?

Prefer?


I don't object to bling shops - I might think they're idiots to open there but I don't object and I probably underestimate the lust for Gold and shiny things in these parts (can't see Nina Christie's being thrilled though).


If you DO have such power though ET, and are asking with a view to waving your wand and making it so, then a good Chinese/Vietnamese-type supermarket would be nice, thankyou.

So that's three new jewellery shops opened relatively recently in ED - how much money is there floating around?! (The other two are on Upland Road - one precious jewellery which has been open for quite a while, the other a costume jewellery one next door).

Why would you think this area could not support three jewellery shops?

Four jewellery shops, and I'm not saying it can't, I was just wondering as it seems quite a concentration in a small area (particularly as three of them sell precious jewellery that's quite expensive). Hopefully it can. East Dulwich: South London's Hatton Garden ;-)

I'm not whinging! I am merely concerned (and therefore posing a question for discussion) that someone's hopes and dreams, never mind investment, might not succeed if there isn't sufficient demand. Ever heard of market saturation?


I have already said that I wish them well. The new shop is probably better placed than the other two for passing trade anyway.

Vik, you are absolutely right. Some people are never happy... It's like a little forum of negativity, cheer up people it's nearly Christmas!

      It’s irrelevant to compare Corbyns vote to Starmers. They were two different elections with two different turnouts.   The only relevant comparisons for Corbyn are how many people voted for Theresa May and Boris Johnson. A lot more in both instances. As such there would be nothing fair about him winning.

      It is not Labour Party members who elect Labour governments, as it certainly isn't Conservative Party members who elect Conservative ones. It is all those who are not party members who actually make up the sufficient numbers to elect governments.

      Thanks for these responses. Yes, Cllr Browning & Cllr Hartley did a door-knocking exercise a couple of months ago. It was Maggie Browning who knocked and I told her that I'd had radio silence from Jon Hartley. She looked embarrassed but not surprised. I have spoken to him since, only after writting to Ellie Reeves, our MP about it his lack of response. He agreed to address the issue I asked about but I've not heard from him since. It's really not acceptable for an elected Councillor to consistently ignore his ward constituents. Since it's clearly not a one-off, I'm gonna pick this up formally. I'll let you know how I get on...

      If memory serves, Labour under Corbyn got more electoral  votes than Labour under Starmer. So I'm not sure how you can call that being "unelectable"? Under a different and fairer electoral system Labour would have won. I see moves are afoot to bring in such a different, fairer system, presumably in the hopes of stopping Reform winning next time. BTW there was a mass exodus from Labour  by  the local (East Dulwich) Labour party members when Corbyn was kicked out by Starmer. It isn't just Islington who doesn't want to support  a right or centre right Labour party.
