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 :)

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
