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.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
