Ok, I meant 'high street prime locations' - they're usually at least 2-3 streets away from all the action.


there's currently no hi-fi shop in ED that's of any use, it'd be a good thing

Strange that people should be Anti-Richersounds, I've always thought it was an excellent franchise offering decent hi-fi equipment at factory direct prices(no I dont work for them). Better that than another bookies/indian/knick-knack shop. Bring it on and shame on all those dissenting voices. (tu)

Agreed.


I think some people aren't happy unless ED is packed with shops charging 5 times the going rate for everyday things, it fits in with some kind of aspirational delusion of theirs.

Im sure the posh pr*cks who have moved into from the more posh post codes of london would not think twice of jumping in there 4x4 petrol vehicles and shopping up at john lewis as richer sounds is not a good enough name.


It really gets on my nerves when people write into the dulwich forum stating which shops should and should not be in dulwich there is now another betting shop opposite somerfield which is much more damaging to LL

Pot.. kettle.. black

I don't think it's likely they will open up round here, I think they require areas that have high shopping footfall which includes people coming into the area to shop and office worker etc popping in in their lunchbreaks and on the way home, just don't think we have that in ED.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
