OK, so this thread has had eight people 'in favour' of a new charity shop, three 'against' and eleven neither for nor against in an obvious way or simply pointing out matters of fact. How is this 'very Daily Mail'? Or is that phrase just an updated 'talk to the hand' lazy thread-stopper?

Fuelled by others that make such silly statements like yours too eh? ;-)


Me? Na dont get me envolved :-p

I agree with what was said about the Manager of the small St Christopher's shop. She practically lives there from what I can see! She is devoted to that shop and it seems to be a huge success because of her.

There is also a rather charming elderly gent who sometimes works there on Fridays , he seems to know loads about art and antiquities and is always very helpful!

Don and Ellen at the big shop are also excellent!

I totally agree!

Sorry Sue, but that sounds really bitchy.

As I see it a local forum should be a friendly place where people can voice their opinions, have a healthy debate,

agree disagree whatever-I feel I have as much right to be here as everyone else even if sometimes I do find it a bit Daily mail/MumsNet-ish.

Others may consider it too full of Guardian readers.

We are all different, we all have opinions thats the Joy of it!

Dear oh dear, it was supposed to be a joke, hence the smiley :(

Don't worry, Sue - NewWave's passive-aggressive post is a classic of the genre:

1. Post opinion

2. Read someone's reply disagreeing

3. Make 'ad hominrm' comment to person replying, possibly including the word 'bullying', though 'bitchy' will do (references to Daily Mail, The Guardian and MumsNet are optional)

4. Approve of 'healthy debate' and being 'friendly' - code for 'agree with me or stage 3 might be repeated'

I believe its permanent.

As to it opening today? unsure.

What I especially like about this shop is that due to Marys fashion connections you have new donations from designers at a fraction of the price.

For instance yesterday I saw Karl Donaghue earmuffs in sheepskin which are ?150 in Liberty for ?30!

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
