Top 'My Wife's Bored' shops in East Dulwich

[RosieH]

I think the gentlemen who set their wives up in such establishments would do well to spend their money more wisely - here for instance

Tantric breathing exercises; who has that much time on their hands?

Keef, I am not surprised that someone you know, who owns one of the ED shops, has said they are "selling a load of frilly cushions to housewives with far too much time and money". I find that all rather indicative of some parts of the area.

What about 'my wife does all the shopping for birthday and christmas presents for my family so these kind of shops in ED are most useful'

'my wife does all the shopping for birthday and christmas presents for my family (who are actually now HER family too thanks to the wonderful establishment that is marriage) so these kind of shops in ED are most useful'

That's true.. these shops do come in handy for three or four days of the year.

If you've left it too late to order something from Amazon.

But there is, thankfully, no premise big enough for a large supermarket. I think
