First cafe bans children under five, East Dulwich next?


Recommended Posts

I've already said that parents need to control their kids and that I personally only go places where they do so the behaviour comment is a total red herring at least in response to me. Both adults and children need to behave well in public as standard.


However, saying 'It's great when others don't force their life choices e.g. Having kids, onto others in a public setting ' with no qualifiers around it is ridiculous.


Children are part of society and a valuable part of society at that. They and their parents have every right to be out in public, particularly in the daytime.

You will be an old person moaning about kids one day, I more or less guarantee it! I have children but the little toddling critters or the ones that cry a lot (babies) can be incredibly annoying when you've treated yourself to a meal out somewhere. Even when my children were small and exuberant I really didn't expect every single eating and drinking establishment to welcome them. I wasn't that entitled.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
