There is a jewellery shop too isn't there? Nina Christie or something similar?


Not sure if she does repairs but she has an excellent reputation. There is some comment in the archives on her work if one uses the search tool.


So essentially ED needs neither of your suggestions....


Next.

I love Nina Christie, I have bought some lovely jewellery for presents etc from her which were a bit unusual and reasonably priced too. Plus she has also repaired a few things for me really well and I think she does commissions and engagement rings as well. I would definitely recommend her.

If I could have one shop we don't have I would like a branch of Hobbs. Totally not essential, and it would never happen, but would be nice.


A good perfumery wouldn't go amiss. Though just being in the same town as Liberty and Selfridges has been enough to create a large drain on my finances and a full drawer of different perfume.... so maybe not!

The White Company. Said it before I know, but I quite like their stuff. Only in the Sales though.

Surprised they've not opened there since LLane is so like Marylebone High Street in so many ways...

Come to that, a Patisserie Valerie and a Tattoo parlour would be good.

Boots or Superdrug would give the LL chemists a kick up the backside, to be sure.


, Gap and a TK Maxx please.

I'd disagree that local shops sell only overpriced tat. In recent years I've bought a few frocks and skirts (maybe six frocks and four skirts in total) from the ED shop on North Cross Road and from Celestial (in both cases this stock is at the back of the shop, so not apparent from the window/door). The skirts were all 30-40 quid and the dresses 40-75 (mostly around 45). They have all been my favourites. I'm wearing one of the skirts now. All are from small labels and more stylish than anything from the chains, and the prices were not more expensive. (When I took a look in The White Stuff recently the prices for tops and skirts seemed higher and their stuff is somewhat tat-ish and certainly ordinary.)


While Gap is absolutely great for plain wardrobe staples like jeans, jumpers, or black jackets, or jim-jams, there rarely seems to be anything fun or really interesting and stylish in there.

I love betting and would like to see some sort of premises where I can do this.


I also really like buying those birthday cards with an old-fashioned photograph juxtaposed with a hilarious 'modern' caption, often implying something rude!


I'd love a shop that sold these to open in ED.

Dream Machine used to sell them but it was unclear what was for sale and what was part of their front room.


Opening a record store in a suburb is basically suicide these days.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
