Wow !!!!!!


I think Anne Summers would be great, they really are a thriving business and would really raise the profile of the 'Lane'. I think they are in the same marketing bracket as 'Great White', 'Somerfields' and 'Foxtons' Lucky old you. We will probably get one of those stylish racy shops over in SE15 you know where they have educated swingers who all go away to Babbington House for an debauched but cool fuck fest.


I want some good old fashioned bland and i want it now. I suppose i will be resigned to making the trip down Lordship Lane more often to get my fix of edible lube and glow in the dark cock rings. Lucky buggers you lot.

Wise words, Andy.


If you're not careful you can end-up with one which is too loose on the cock itself, but not quite large enough to get over both cock and balls.

How do you know? Have you done the research?

I love how people decide what's 'right' for the area on here.


A chain like Ann Summers will have a locations buyer, conduct a detailed feasibility study and from this work out whether it's commercially viable to open a store in the area.


Canvassing a bunch of outraged types on a forum would probably be seen as a waste of time.

Penk - 'viral' advertising such as forums are increasingly very valuable for gauging public opinions.... don't rule out the idea that this could well be someone trying to find out whether it is viable, I am sure they would also conduct other research, but something like this would be really valuable and cheap way of getting opinions....


Ann Summers hey..... Well it would make for a fun Saturday morning, pop out to shops, buy over priced but yummy crackers in ED Deli, overpriced and not really worth it veg in SMBS & and an overpriced piece of tat from ann summers....


Personally I wouldn't go anywhere other than Myla.

This has been an entertaining thread, however it seems to be more of a wish list of businesses people would like in ED rather than a reality check of what we have and is comimg. Lets just hang back and see if Foxtons come or go, some how I thinks they are going to hang on for the long haul.

Quite right Mrs F - Penk don't you realise that in a world of consumer generated content, forums are a cheap place to get genuine opinion.


And you're also quite right about Myla - I've got my eye on their new Sabar.

Mmm actually I do, working in a very similar field. Forums full of jokers posting under pseudonyms will never replace a good old-fashioned 'facts and figures' feasibility study based on demographic and market research.


Forums are great for some things and companies do use them for things like this, but due to legislation passed last year (which any company paying for web PR and marketing will be well aware of) it is an offence to not be completely transparent if you are posting for a commercial venture - ie the days of multiple-pseudonym 'buzz creation' corporate logins are over as they're now illegal.

Well this one has gone completely under my radar, but then again I don't work in marketing. If I were cynical I would venture to say that such activity would still go on due to lack of enforcement and difficulties in detection. In much the same way that it is an offence to 'fuddle' the VAT on an extension if you pay the chap in cash.

Yes i agree it's a shame if Ann Summers decides to set up shop in LL. What we REALLY need is a full blown XXX shop, like Harmony (something tasteful, but still does bukkake videos). If anyone from the Harmony chain is reading this, how about a little consultation and feasibility study work?

For God's sake, if we're going to have such a shop (and, obviously, we're not.. but IF we were) let's make it a good old-fashioned SEX SHOP with a small door, a blacked-out front and a neon-lettered sign - preferably flickering.


I want to see people with their collars pulled-up, hurrying away with carrier bags full of butt plugs, electric spanking paddles and absolutely filthy porn.. Not some 'respectable' fingers-on-lips-SHHHhhhh..mmmmm NAUGHTY eyebrows raised burlesque-revival bollox where respectable middle-aged men who haven't got their leg over for ten months can spend fifty quid on a pair of French knickers on Valentines in the hope that it might thaw the sexual frost.

Without wanting to hijack this thread, if you do work in a very similar field, then you'll know that some companies have carried on regardless - some big (because they're stoopid and think no one will catch them) and some small (because they don't know about the legislation - see the Wanted, offered, recommended threads for examples of that).


Anyway, back to the point, *bob*, you might be right from a comedy point of view, but for the ladies of ED who might actually WANT to have sex rather than know their fella's in the shed tending to himself and his specialist publication, my vote would go for fancy pants over old-school authenticity every time.


All beside the point of course, because they're not coming.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.

      Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
