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.

    • 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......"
