New M&S on Lordship Lane?

[Mick Mac]

I have to agree - ED is not really in the beautiful catagory - busy and trendy perhaps but not beautiful. Its close to nice parks, Dulwich and Peckham but I guess it does not have much beautiful of its own, but there is nothing wrong with been a buzzing little area, surrounded by beauty.

[AllforNun]

Why would they open a poundstretcher on Nunhead Lane Keef...... ?

And the catchment group for M&S is generally massive exposure to people, and generally people who are prepared to spend a lot of money with little thought and also spend that money on food that is generally not all that.

M&S local is a far cry from a proper M&S like the one in Beckenham. 20mins from ED.

[Annasfield]

I heard Hamleys.

[Keef]

Do you know what AFN, they probably won't open a pound stretcher. You're right, this is a serious thread, and I shouldn't be taking it all lightly.

>>Oh and talking about helicopters, at a Members meeting of Kings COllege Hospital the other day, it was discussed that Kings is now the best hospital for heart and liver problems<<

King's has been the "best" for livers for 40 years....

when it comes to Nunhead lane, shit gets serious !

Phase two of the regeneration? (phase one was a lamp-post).

Third and final Nunhead Regeneration Phase is a waste bin?

[AllforNun]

Phase 4 - Knock off DVD's of Jeremy and Sherwick starring in " Come in my backdoor IIII" free to all lane residents.

Come in my back door, and rob my house? Christ your area sounds rough!

[Sherwick]

Just heard Nick Ferrari describe Woolwich as "one of the more grim and miserable parts of London even though it has a waterfront". He then spent a couple of minutes railing on about how bad Woolwich is.

I think we all agree that East Dulwich is far better than that (in every way possible)!

Keef, I suggest you take your grime tinted specs off next time you look at East Dulwich!

:)

[Keef]

Believe me, I have looked at ED, and it is in most ways lots better than Woolwich, which is a place I generally don't like, having worked there for 7 years. However, East Dulwich is not a beautiful area, however much it might make you feel good about yourself, to claim it is. It is a nice area made up of victorian terraces, with some grim 20th century buildings thrown in. Woolwich does have a great waterfront, recently done up. It has all the old military buildings and grounds, horrid as it may be, it has more interesting and attractive stuff to look at than ED. However, if some bloke on the radio disagrees, then I must be wrong.

[SeanMacGabhann]

So Keef disagrees with Nick ferrari - that makes Keef right by default

Besides keef wasn't being harsh in any way - he just (correctly) pointed out that from an aesthetic viewpoint ED doesn't have much going for it compared with lots of other areas. The shops and houses are all relatively modest, often scruffy and there isn't anything architecturally to make you go "ooh" - not even a town clock a la Harlesden.

It has plenty else to recommend it and I would defend it against anywhere as a place to live - but pretty on the eye? Nope

At least with Woolwich, if you de-grimed it it has potential to be pretty amazing but you can paint up ED all youlike and would still just be low-key. That's ok tho'

[SeanMacGabhann]

oops - cross posted with Keef.

Some bloke??!?!? This is Nick Ferrari, the de facto spokesman for all of London, you and I included!

[Jeremy]

Nick Ferrari is an arse (was about to fulfill Godwin's Law there...)

[Sherwick]

So you don't like him then?

[SeanMacGabhann]

OMG - I just realised Sherwick might be serious about Nick Ferari

[AllforNun]

"Come in my back door, and rob my house? "

careful what you wish for Keef, especially if you dwell ED, what with the explosion in cocaine prices, you may well get your wish, some of the organic folk out on a san antonio lane night out don't care how they get their money !

[Sherwick]

:(

[Huguenot]

Nunhead resident in threatening language with violent overtones shocker...

[AllforNun]

Care home resident in dusty old book theft mystery shocker.......... !

[Sherwick]

Where is Nunhead? Is it in London?

Where is Nunhead? Is it in London?

It doesn't exist in real time and space, it's a portal between ED, Peckham, Honor Oak, New Cross, and Brockley. It's something you pass through when travelling to these places.
