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.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
