i hate foxtons, even more so now that they have opened up on lordship lane. at first it was a total guessing game as to what this new massive open shop front would turn out to be. i thought it was going to be a new bar, to add to all the other recently rejuvintaed bars in the area. but no! it turns out tp be the biggest waste of space i've seen on lordship lane since cafe nero! in this day and age of global awareness and constant reminders of the destruction of the world we are causing and how we all should do our bit to help the world including turning off unecessary electricity usage, along come foxtons to take over a huge space of what used to be a charming independent high street, leave all their high-powered lighting on all night with a widescreen tv almost billboard sized which is left on all night and day blaring out sky news. why? what benefit is this tv being on to anyone? has anyone noticed how their shop front colour changes colour? it infuriates me that they can get away with this. in some ways i wish it did turn out to be yet another trendy bar, at least they could have candles and low lighting and some purpose to being on a high street. but for god's sake, if you're not open turn your lights off, no-one needs to see this eyesore. and as for those fridges, they can stick them up their backsides. is it only me that is this infuriated? maybe it's because i have seen east dulwich go under some drastic, independence-losing changes in the last 5 years. it is now turning in to what could be any other high street in the world.
