Eh? Bona Gifts? Will Julian and his friend Sandy be working in there? How lovely to vada their eeks again.

[SeanMacGabhann]

it won't go down well with some people on here at all!

but it was always going to be that kind of retail space - given the permission that space has and the size it is, what would people prefer to see there if they don't like this kind of shop?

[Mark]

so the rumours of it becoming a tattoo parlour, a pound shop or a Carphone Warehouse are untrue then.

[Ant]

I was hoping for all three of those rolled into one.

[TJS]

Excellent - I like OB

[Keef]

Seriously, I'd love a good tattoo parlour.

Never heard of this new outfit.

[RosieH]

hahaha, I really objected to the White Stuff on the grounds that we're turning into Clapham, but the real truth is I find their clothes ugly and boring. Oliver Bonas on the other hand has all the lovely random tat that I like to buy - I'm torn - should I be upset that we're turning more and more into Clapham every day, or should I succumb to the inevitable with grace and buy a cushion?

[Ultraconsultancy]

A smaller, cheaper branch of Andy's of Denmark Street would have done me fine.

[RosieH]

what is this Andy's of Denmark Street of which you speak?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

guitars - tin pan alley

ps to all those guitar freaks - was in same school year as Tony Zematis's son (also Tony). Went round to his house - his dad just had his workshop tacked on to the back of their bungalow. Amazing stuff.

And the difference between this and, for example, Mrs Robinson, is what exactly????

...or Ed or Moo Too or...

Not heard of Oliver Bonas, looked at the webby and I get the gist, looks too pricey for the likes of me but pleasant all the same.

Looks like I'll have to go elsewhere for my tattoo of a carphone for a pound.:'(

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I too looked on web and was surprised by quite a lot of affordable stuff (you can select under tenner section).

I have a needle and a bottle of cochineal.

[RosieH]

they do a nice line of fascinators

[Rolo Tomasi]

Always used OB for presents when i lived in Clapham Common. Found them to be very reasonable with a great range. (tu)

[wee quinnie]

Are they not pretty much the same as the White Stuff but with a few candlesticks for sale etc.?

[Ladygooner]

Oliver Bonas is the best gift shop IMO and they are very welcome!

[peckhamboy]

This would seem particularly appropriate for ED:

Oliver Bonas

[SeanMacGabhann]

you think?

I don't know anyone who was born with one of those in their gob

[ct]

I'm sure us men folk could be catered for a little better on lordship lane. It's very female biased with the likes of all the eds and moos and mrs robinsons and the one by the mexican restaurant, and the one by green and blue and now this one!

[bald marauder]

Hey Sean,

It's not for being born with - it's for sitting in Nero's and feeding your little one a babyccino...

[Angusvanfrehley]

Another boring middle class shop with boring tat! Does anyone else long for the days when you could cross Lordship Lane on a sunday without being 'four wheeled', or having a pint in the Foresters 'cause it was a bloody good honest laugh!

[Dodo1]

Oh well cheer up! There is a branch of M&S that will deliver food to us!!
