I felt this was one prescient Harry Enfield sketch in an otherwise patchy return to our screens.


Would anyone who has seen it agree that this sketch could as easily be located in an establishment on (or just off) Lordship Lane - given the pretentious overpriced tat some establishments sell, the misplaced arrogance of some who sell it, and the yummy mummies and their bespectacled lifepartners that gullibly gobble it up?

Although it is borderline Lounge material, it is chat about a TV programme and I have decided it not strictly "East Dulwich Gossip/Issues". Also it is not obvious from the title " I saw you coming sir/madam" what the thread is about which can be a bit annoying in the "East Dulwich Gossip/Issues" section but is acceptable in the Lounge.

    • 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.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
