Just seen this - are we at chain tipping point locally?

[first mate]

Yes, those wishing the chains in are wishing the identity of ED away.

[CARLOS THE JACKAL]

Sorry for starting the new thread

According to someone in work this is going to be a dominos pizza place

[LondonMix]

Really, there is a dominos pizza place in ED already near the station.

[strae]

In a similar vein:

Let's start a petition for a giant perspex cloche to descend on ED to preserve the way of life we know and love.

They are currently on special on Rumplestiltskin.com

Wow do they really make cloches that big ?! If so, that's really cool.

I thought that unlurked had been banned. The unlurked post quoted by strae above shows why this banning happened.

I disagree. You might not like what s/he said in that post, but it wasn't offensive. Not saying other posts weren't, but that one defo not.

I'm looking forward to the new Spanish deli on North Cross road and was glad to see Pretty's fruit n veg stall this morning :) I like a good mix, Oliver Bonas has some nice gift things and cafe Nero has great staff and lots of buggy space which is very handy for mums... My fave new addition is the Mary Portas Save the Children clothes shop which has lovely stuff and helps a worthy cause when you buy :)

For those that are wanting to shop locally and encourage local businesses (don't we all?) check out free loyalty card scheme [http://www.livelovelocal.net] has loads of discounts and deals, inc Lordship Lane carpets and the therapies at Goose Green clinic (everything from acupuncture to counselling and cranial sacral massage)...
