Normally don't read these thread but for some reason I read this one. For another even more inexplicable reason I?m posting on it. Just to entertain myself really I suppose.


I must admit this is the first I have heard of ?Camper? so I had to look them up but, 80 bucks for a pair of trainers. Balls! They can?t be that good. My cons only cost about 30 and you can wear a pair of them day in and out for about 5 years. I know this from experience. Or you could just buy a pair of skate shoes that will look better and last the fuck out of those things.


It really is a silly business this fashion nonsense and never ceases to amaze me whenever I open one of its doors for a peak inside.


Anyway back on topic. The booteek place?s shoes were way too expensive.

About the signage, all that black and reckless (yes reckless) use of swashes smacks of faux chic, attempting to envoke baroque aethetics but coming over all chav, or mock-baroque.


To my mind boutiques are about exclusivity, elegance, customer service. Not a load of black shiny plastic with meaningless patterns constructed from letterforms. Letters and their swashes have meaning, just taking them, reapeating them to make a pattern is sloppy and misses the mark by some way.


Rant ends.


I'm guessing it's too late to pitch for the redesign work?

Isn't that council block now a baby shop with gym?

normally I would bow to your knowledge of property at that end of the Lane karter, but I'm not aware of the gym and the baby shop (Mama bebe whatsit) is a few doors down I think


btw - whatever happened to that coffee shop chain you were hinting at a few years back?

My knowledge is not only down that end seanmac but all over these days. I was actually referring to the property block on the corner that parkhill purchased ( i think from the council) which is now JoJo bebe and a training studio upstairs with fitness instructors, granted though, it is opposite the edt and not the cherry.


The deal with that chain fell through, i think i did post it back then.

They're not trainers, they're very sturdy leather lace-ups. At least the ones I am toying with buying are, only unfortunately a work colleague already has an identical pair :)

Reckon Primark kids socks also probably made by blind unijambiste kids in the Sahara somewhere.


Sue, wouldn't for a second suggest that ?20 is reasonable for socks - I've no idea what would be reasonable never having bought them - just that I wouldn't expect them any cheaper from Davina Boutique. Seems to be roughly on a par with what you might pay in any of the chichi establishments in the area.


They did have a very nice Longchamp bag in there, but at a few hundred pounds I decided to pass - s'why I figured socks would be quite pricey too.

Naming no names, but a child's Christmas present I bought for a fiver in the card shop in Lordship Lane was recently on sale in one of those chichi establishments for over seven quid :-S

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
