Well quite... Ridiculous name (can tell it's offensive without looking it up in a dictionary Loz!), nothing could induce me to go in there. It's like a return to the seventies or something.

Completely agree! I usually have a puerile sense of humour but don't think this is particularly funny or clever.

Wait and see.. They will be packed out.. queuing down the lane to get in...


No one has the gumption to boycott this place despite what they might write here..

.. and why should they. ?


I must admit at first the name went over my head and I never saw the innuendo till mentioned here.


I'm just a bit slow.. :)

Maybe they're labouring under the impression that East Dulwich is an internationally renowned stag night destination, on a par with Magaluf or Ayia Napa?


I don't mind a bit of smut either usually but this is just spectacularly misjudged. A shame, as I normally like trying new places and the pics look quite nice on Facebook, but I don't think I could bring myself to set foot in somewhere with a name so irredeemably naff.


I do hope it's a wind up...

Agreed, but I was laughing at the poster being offended at the strange definition they had to look up on the net and yet missing the completely obvious just-as-offensive one.

For years there has been the popular and critically acclaimed Meat Liquor in W1.

It's a gag. Hopefully they'll reveal their real name shortly having gotten some good controversial PR.....or


...its a dying throes of hipster movement play ala Death Row Dinners and Cereal Killers Cafe....In the totally wrong family orientated location. Even in Peckham it would jar.

Meat Liquor actually serves Meat and Liquor, so the name works.


I doubt Pussey is on the menu at Pussey Liquor.

This evening I saw Made in Chelsea's glamorous Victoria Baker Harber walking down the Lane. She looked like a nice young woman. And I certainly don't know, but I did wonder if she was going to PL's opening.


I tend to agree with the sentiments given about the name - somehow it doesn't fit with my impression of ED being a considerate community. I certainly don't want to hear children asking what PL means. I don't think ED is prude, just a bit cleverer.

Now I'm no parent (I hate children in pubs, or should I say parents in pubs who feel it's their written right to tell adults how to behave pubs around their children, but that's a different thread) and no feminist but I think it's crass. I do have visions of a parent walking down the street with a child whose just learnt to read calling out every sign they see and say Pussy Liquor and a random bystander starts giggling. How do you go about explaining that one? The fact they know they're being 'risky' makes it all the worse as they know what they are doing by using their name to get everyone talking about them. Which I've done. So I'll stop.

Referring back to Mrs Slocombe, and her pussy, this thread http://www.minki.net/aybsforum/showthread.php?t=4759 gives lots of examples of things I saw and heard as a child which have failed to scar me for life. It's a joke, however funny or not you find it.


When I watch Are You Being Served now it's much funnier!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
