Police/Bailiffs in La Avril boutique this evening

[Bony Fido]

Just seen Police in La Avril boutique and white van outside being loaded with goods from the shop - another victim of this wonderful "government"'s policies no doubt.

[uncleglen]

How are the high rents in this area and lack of custom in shops a result of government policies?

[unlurked]

Or being a sh#t business person

[Sue]

It wasn't exactly a high profile shop or on the beaten track, was it?

[Earl Aelfheah]

I feel for them

Police? Sounds more than you make out if they have the Police there.

Either way, nothing to do with this Govt. The last one, perhaps..........

[NewWave]

If police were there It could well have been that they were selling counterfeit goods and that was why they were being loaded into a van.

I've never been in there so I'm just guessing.

Its always sad though to lose a local business however in this case I honestly can't say I ever felt inclined to walk down the road and pop in.

I know the previous tenant of the building had massive problems with the landlord so could be related to that.

Where is this place?

Next to the lingerie shop near The Patch.

In case riceboy wasnt being ironic

well - 1. Real Wages down due to freezes.

2. Insecurity of employment increased - people spend less if they feel insecure.

3. More people in part time jobs who want full time jobs. Lower wages

4. permitting zero hour contracts. Again insecurity

5. Not to mention the failure to get to grips with the planning issues around town centres.

6. No increased regulation of banks.

7. failure to regulate energy prices

thats for starters.

I love to have a dig at this gov, but you can't blame them for that one, it's been going on for ages. At least it's come to light recently.

[EastDulwichSE22]

Yes Tallulah, it's called Bloomers .

They recently reviewed and decided not to ban them . So no I think I am right!

[Otta]

You always think you're right.

Zero hour contracts are nothing new, they may not have gotten rid, but you can't blame them for their existence.

[????]

Some people do actually like zero hour contracts - for their flexibility

many employers abuse them but not all

Banning them is the typical reaction of a 'state knows best' socialist.

[the-e-dealer]

But bad banks have been unregulated for a long time and its not the first time price rises have outstripped wages but you let those go. And the Planning stuff they aren't the first gov to fail to deal. So if you agree that zero hours contracts cant be blamed on this government - who after all are In charge and do have the power to change then you cant blame anything on them.

Yes, right next door to La Avril - http://bloomerslingerie.com/findus.php

Run by the wonderful Sharon.

[tallulah71]

I hope the wonderful Sharon sells lots of drawers - I drove past the Patch earlier this evening and I'm still none the wiser. Still it was dark...

[EastDulwichSE22]

Drawers and brasseries galore , right up the steps next to the Patch on lordship lane( the side heading towards the old police station )

That's not true. May not have been effective enough in some areas but there was a lot of it about.

[????]

and, deeply unpopulist as it may be, people who actually think about these things rather than what's in their pocket right now and the particular bandwagon of the day, realise that a state imposed price freeze on energy bills will be an absolute disaster for the long term energy supply(in terms of investment and creating fit for purpose energy for the 21st century) but hey, everyone (without a brain or with a political agenda) loves it....
