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.

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
