Just to satisfy Zeb's expectations, I said in an earlier post that I understand this will give LL full high street status and push up business rates, thus forcing out some of the last remaining independents. Does anybody know the position on this?


Thanks.

If this were to happen shops would be left empty, if for no better reason than the footprint of most LL shops is well below the square meterage that most chains would be interested in. The reason we have so many estate agents is that offices of this nature can operate in small(er) premises (notwithstanding the great misue of retail opportunity space that is Foxton's).

I knew that I was tempting fate when I said that I was waiting for the negative posts to appear on this thread.


My main inclination is to greet the news that cinema has gained planning permission by quoting Margaret Thatcher (a person who incidentally I hated greatly) and shouting "Rejoice!"

Surely Taboo (1980) is in your collection Louisa?

...and, excluding the big disco hits, how much soul and funk was played on say Radio 1 or talked about in the NME? When I went to Univesrity in 1981 the soundtrack at the Student Union was very, very white...a lot of people didn't know any James Brown tracks for example

      Christmas Cheese!

      By pikeyed · Posted

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
