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.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
