As if we need more stuff to rot our kids teeth and send them bonkers with additives and food colorings.

It was always very unappealing even when it was the Co-op chemist, in my opinion :(

According to the planning application, the new Superdrug store will also contain a ?The Perfume Shop? counter, which is absolutely brilliant news. Lots of quality fragrances, at knock down prices.




If true, I hope this does not affect Rouiller White's perfume parlour. An independent will never compete with a chain on prices. That said, the hope is there is room for both.

Superdrug sell a range of various top branded perfumes as well as more affordable ones. Including Creed btw. Not sure why you conclude those same brands are somehow not quality just because they happen to be sold by a high street chain? Hope we aren?t back to the old arguments of being seen to buy stuff from a small independent just so people can see you going in there, regardless of the price?


Louisa.

Im not big perfume fan and never been to Roullier White, but have seen their website and it does seem pricy.

I don't know why you are all coming down on Louisa, not everyone can afford such lavish perfumes. Sometimes you may be looking for a ?20 fragrance to give as a gift and Superdrug would be just the place to go for this sort of thing.

Is it the fact that Superdrug is just not gentrified enough for ED that is bothering you all so much ?

    • It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad. 
    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
