Duplication of Retail Outlet - picket/lobby required

[Domitianus]

I am sure that fellow users of this forum will be as shocked, horrified, disgusted, mortified and downright T'd-off as I was to hear that I have discovered a new music shop has opened in ED. This means that there are now TWO music shops in ED, a catastrophic state of affairs that will lead to devestation of the local economy, destruction of variety amongst local businesses and, quite possibly, a spiralling downturn in house prices!!! Indeed, it is fair to say that, for many, life may never be the same again.

I feel it is incumbent upon all responsible citizens and inhabitants of ED to assemble at the stroke of midnight in an unruly mob, armed with pitchforks and flaming torches, to advance upon the offending musical emporium with the intention of forcing the propretor to desist from trading forthwith. Are you with me?????

Where is this new shop? Do they have any decent guitars?

[Jeremy]

Is it the place on Uplands Road (or Overhill, Underhill, or one of those other roads round that way)? I got the impression that it's more of a cheap spanish guitars and tambourines kind of place.

Domitianus doth taketh the weeeeeeee methinks

[Brendan]

;-) I realise he is taking the wee wee but I am genuinely interested in where this new shop is. If indeed it does exist.

Can I buy an environmentally friendly flaming torch somewhere on LL, do you think? I'd hate to think of the carbon footprint of one of the old-fashioned ones.

[Brendan]

No but I am thinking of using fermenting plum juice from my garden to create bombs from sealed glass bottles. I am going to start an internet business selling them to rioting mobs across the world as an eco-friendly alternative to petrol bombs. I may even offer revolutionary organisations some kind of carbon offsetting scheme.

Can't imagine why. Was that last post too silly? You know I can never tell.:-S

-thought it was in the lounge already tbh-

[Domitianus]

I believe it also does tin whistles and a variety of metronomes. It is, indeed, on Uplands Road.

[nutty]

I was just thinking I might set up a pitchfork shop ....

[Domitianus]

You would not be allowed to. There is already a pitchfork shop in the vicinity and, as we all now know, it is not permissible to have more than one of an sort of shop in ED. There is also a shop that sells flaming torches by the way.

[Brendan]

Yeah only one type on any shop keeps the capitalists monopolies out.

..oh wait. :-S

despite you taking the micky here of certain posts about shops not copying and selling the same product, I am sure deep down and considering your own trade (whatever that may be) that you realise that it aint nice to open up next door or near to a similar business. Disrespect and all that.This is a tight local community after all and not Tottenham Court Road. Someone mentioned on a previous post about the East Dulwich Mafia ( EDM). Does it really exist Dom???

[Keef]

Do either of then sell really cheap rubbish electric guitars? Have always wanted to trash one at a gig, but obviously my Les Paul deserves more respect! Also I'll need to trash it against someone else's amp, as mine is just too fine for that! ;-)

[Brendan]

You can get a rip-off les paul from china for about ?30 Keef. Get one and then just smash your bassist's amp instead of your own. >:D:D

[Keef]

Like it!!! >:D
