Their ice cream was delicious and very well priced, and their chocolates - though relatively expensive - were very yummy and really useful for a small gift.


They took a lot of trouble boxing them up, tying a ribbon on them and putting them in a stripey paper carrier, even for just six quids' worth.

For sweet shop fans - I hear there'll be a stall on NX market from next Saturday selling weighed sweets and other sweets, some from NZ.

I found this out just after I turned onto NX yesterday and thought hmm time for sugar fix, only to be brutally reminded H&G has gone.

Sweet stall will be next to Pie in the Sky van.

Hi Rahrahrah

The Dogfather ? lol. (yum)

I am just starting out and have a lot of vintage dog stuff at the mo, but the plan is to have my own range of collars and leads, coats and beds etc.

I am getting a whole load of collars and leads in on thursday. I need to build up stock slowly - it's expensive!!!

In homage to the sweet shop I do have a range of dog themed lollipops in lovely flavours like salted caramel (for humans not dogs) And I have sheepskins that are especially to be used as dog blankets.


I will also be having 'dog of the week' so please send me in pics of your dogs. Can I say my email?

Hi Lilyrose....can I suggest that you start a new thread introducing yourself and your shop and your dog of the week comp, you might find more folks see it than a thread headed up about the sweet shop...and I don't think there is any restriction on publishing an email address, just check out the rules for businesses thread the top this section.


Good luck

Thank you Cedges. I will take that on board and maybe do it when I am brave enough. I only came on here to defend myself and my shop as I didn't want people to think that I did anything other than buy a shop that was for sale.

I think people would have been just as angry if I had opened a shop selling sweets so I can't win really

Good luck Lillyrose. I've just got a dog and will be popping down to have a look at your shop. At least you're saving all those kids' teeth now ;-) For those who are sad about the loss of the sweet shop, there is a great one in Forest Hill called Sugar Mountain. A short bus-hop away!

Starting your own thread is a good idea. This thread will inevitably draw people that will say "it's a shame the sweet shop is going, and your shop will take the (completely unfair) brunt of their diappointment).


A new thread all about your shop will draw no unnecessary unrelated malice from morons.

Hi All


Local Hope & Greenwood fans will still be able to get their fix over the road at ed which will soon stock their confectionery, we already do so at Tomlinsons in the village and The Dulwich Trader in West Dulwich.


@lillyrose - great piece in the FT, the shop is looking great, we wish you all the best.

Hi All


I do from time to time have a look on forums and search my shop to see if I have been mentioned on any threads which I'm sure most local independant shops do.


I'd like to thank all that have mentioned me and for the kind words on this thread aswell as others.


I'd also like to wish Lilyrose the very best of luck with her new venture as a fellow Localish independent trader.


Lilyrose I have cats so will have to try and get down to you when I get time, I'm only in Forest Hill but only have 1 day off which is normally manic doing community stuff.


On that note I am working with surrounding areas to try and do more for the community in SE London as a whole so let me know if you are interested in getting involved.


I've met Dan and he is lovely. I'm also working with the music guys in Dulwich which is mainly So Solid, these guys are doing so much for charity. This is a good old mix match to bring everyone together from all walks of life as I have now got an email to ask to work with kids with disabilities and disadvantaged kids through philosophy which I have said YES too and think it a brilliant idea.


Give me a shout if you want to get involved.


Pauline :)

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
