Does anyone else take offence at these vile magazines that get stuffed through our letter boxes (see example cover in pic) whether we like it or not? These seem to be aimed at bling merchants into ostentatious wealth, which is Absolutely NOT Dulwich - East or Village. Are cake design trends a priority when people are visiting foodbanks. How can we stop them from soiling our doormats?


I realise I can (and do) bin them straightaway - but that's not the point.

I'd be happy enough if they'd just close our gate after inviting themselves onto our property. I'm guessing you don't quite bin them straightaway since you seem to be quite aware of the content. Perhaps you could skip reading them and bin them more immediately? There's just nothing quite like being offended at material you've chosen to spend time reading.
I have a no junk mail sticker but they (and all the other local mags) just ignore it. Not sure I'd call it offensive but I agree it doesn't reflect my experience of the area. But fair to say I'm not a fan of 'aspirational' (ie 90% advertising) magazines anyway - rooted in envy and tend to make you unhappy with what you've got!
They put it on there so people think they're getting something they'd ordinarily have to pay for. You can read the whole thing online for free. It's just adverts for estate agents, loft conversions and independent school open days, scattered with soppy bollocks stuff about people's weddings and GCSE level "fashion shoots".

Why is everyone in ED so fooking nasty nowadays?

    • well they are all very nice and definitely helpful to me. 
    • Can't agree with this, some of them appear totally gormless and can't even look you in the eye or say a word when asked a straightforward question about the membership card at the till. The only cheerful person in there is Tom and he'll proactively talk to anyone about anything. That guy deserves more.
    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
