Hello, just moved to the area recently and have to say I absolutely love it. Great area, lovely people and love the vibrant attitude.


Anyway, I've been reading but not posting for a while but something came to my attention the other day. A friend who works for a marketing agency mentioned that Ann Summers were looking to open an outlet on Lordship Lane. I'm a bit concerned really. I mean naughty undies is one thing but it's a bit cheap for the area.


Does anyone else know anything about this? Fingers crossed it isn't true.

Oh Blue Banana has changed, well I must be getting old! Many moons ago in the land of Wales the Blue Banana was a shop peddling all forms of pot paraphernalia and 'free the weed' t-shirts, albeit one that is the most commercialised. But I'm down with the kids of South Central London and would be the first to welcome the new Blue Banana.


No to Ann Summers! Its overpriced tosh.

andy andy andy, don't tar us all with the same prudish brush. When hand crafted from highly polished jade, dildos and cock rings really can be not only practical but quite beautiful - something you'd be proud to display on any upper middle class mantelpiece

It's just dawned on me ... Could marketing agencies be using this forum as way of gauging local responses to a proposed store openings etc?


EastDulwichLady j'accuse! I propose that it is not your friend that works for the marketing firm but rather it is you and that it is your company that has been approached by Ann Summers to canvas local opinion.

@ FrustratedLawyer: That was my very first thought when I saw the post. It just looks like a total plant. Which is why I didn't respond at first.


@mikecg: there is only one dulwichmum.


My own favoured addition to the Lane would be a micro branch of Heals or Liberty.

I've only been to Ann Summers once, to buy a work secret santa present before Christmas. But I have to say I was very enamoured by the service I received from the lady shop assistant who seemed very keen to talk me through many products.. great shop.

    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
