at least they wont need to do too much to that unit security wise....

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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
