Decided to buy all Christmas gifts at Chener Books and Rye Books...


Recommended Posts

I was after examples of stock to make such a trip to a shop (regardless if local or not) worth it and curious as to why that particular shop was chosen for all gifts -i mean everyones getting a book and nothing else? Not that theres anything wrong with that its great! I was not seeking any sarky comments from the likes of mrben or belittling mzblueberry for their choice of shop tyvm

Same here!


And I also love getting a book as a present which has clearly been thoughtfully selected.

Thirded.


I'm not sure that this thread is the best place to recommend specific books, more that the shops themselves are worth a visit. They'll have a much smaller stock on the premises than an Amazon warehouse but that's the point. It's all thoughtfully curated. They've picked some highlights and some rarities of interest to most. And if thats not enough they'll order stuff in quickly.


Actually going, browsing,leafing through a nice selection of books. The smell even. I happen to like the experience.

Mate I'd fail a test of "bands I should know" miserably.


Plus I'd probably think a bunch of guys that promoted anarchism as a political ideology were a bunch of pricks that would grow up to run a VERY middle class book shop in Sydenham.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
