Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)


Recommended Posts

Dear Clare,


I must admit to bringing a sticky fingered little person into the shop - but I promise that he was always well and truely strapped into his three wheeled Land Rover pram. I even brought him his own raisins and rice cakes and would not scatter my cous cous. It was not me - I promise - who let baby run riot!

You may be interested to know that one of the reasons that there aren't more independent shops opening up in East Dulwich is because many of the landlords who own these properties will only rent premises to 'established' businesses. So they are doing more than anyone else to turn Lordship Lane into an area of chain shops.


I wish there was something we could do, but it's the landlords prerogative. I guess the only thing we can do is object to planning applications and boycott the stores?

Leto,


the only italian thing about the restaurant which used to be next to green & blue was it's name, absolutely nothing else and the food was of a very poor taste indeed....

If it was good it would have still been there (td)

also there are still no places in se22 serving a decent pizza... unfortunately..!!

Castellos had been there for many years, however there is a place in ed that makes handmade pizzas by an authentic italian chef and they are absolutely delicious. Its on Lordship lane at Mon petit chou. Theyve been doing pizza and pasta for a couple of months now and are opening a wine bar too for the evening.

I own several properties in the area and lordship lane (commercial) and am a landlord but would not necessarily lease out to corporate chains ( even though I have been approached). I know of the company you are talking about Vicksg and it seems that he wants the big boys to take over the area but landlords like myself try to preserve individuality of the area.There is something we can do, we can continue to support our local traders.B)

Harumph.


Karter, I'm a great fan of the Chou and go there quite regularly, but I wouldn't even pretend to my mum that it was haute cuisine. Most of their pasta sauces are from a packet, but that doesn't mean they're bad. One shall wait with much anticipation for the wine bar!

Has anyone tried the pizza place in the shopping centre on Rye Lane (not the one with Morrisons in it - the other one)? They're brilliant and totally bargainous - about 3 quid I think for a proper-sized one. And they're proper Italian style thin crust - delicious and not spongy. Only problem is you wouldn't really venture into the centre unless you were looking for some gold shoes or a fake football strip.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
