I'm not joking James.... Not a shop I'd use, but knitting does seem very trendy at the moment, so they'd probably get a good bit of business.... There's one in Sydenham which is always busy, but Mrs Keef says their stuff isn't very good...


Anyway, I was just reporting another idea :-$

Who's the guy that sells CDs in North Cross Road market? Does he have a shop, or is it just a Saturday/spare time thing?


Louisiana

A car park is a good idea, but where...?

And the guy that sells CD's on Northcross road doesn't have a shop. He sells CD's at s few markets, but no shop. Despite his stall not having a massive range, it does have a great selection of good music.

And it seems a suggestion of M+S crept in earlier in the thread. To this i'd say a big fat NO!

I think a car park is a terrible idea. I would suggest that all it would do would encourage even more cars into ED for shopping etc: build a 500 car car-park and 1000 cars will arrive. Roughly the same principle applies when motorways are given more lanes...


As for an M & S, I'd welcome a "Simply Food" branch if it took over the Somerfields...


Anyway I think what ED really needs is a newsagent who will deliver Sunday papers...>:D<

I've just come back from Japan, where a lot of the stations have loads (ie hundreds) of lockable cycle racks, for just over one pound a day. It would be very handy to have the same thing here. Mind you... this being London, the racks (and bikes) would probably just get vandalised.

Ther lockers at ED station (under the bridge) are 75 quid per year (plus a 25 quid refundable padlock deposit). You can book them from [email protected] or phone on 01752 202116.


I reckon that's cheaper than a pound a day!


PS It's subsidised by the local council as a test, and they do a quick background check first (e.g. check your place of work).


Hurrah!

casper - you are popping up in lots of threads "wondering" about the rumours you've heard about a new shop opening up which some "local nosey parker thinks is going to be a maternity shop" and "reckoning" we need a maternity shop. Your fingers wouldn't be inky from the fresh signing of a new commercial lease would they?


Why not just come clean and say you're opening a new shop if you are.


Your surreptitious marketing techniques are a bit transparent.


Or perhaps you are just extremely interested in maternity wear? You're certainly right that there are plenty of bumps about, but to my eye they're always very nicely turned out already...

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
