I'm not joking James.... Not a shop I'd use, but knitting does seem very trendy at the moment, so they'd probably get a good bit of business.... There's one in Sydenham which is always busy, but Mrs Keef says their stuff isn't very good...


Anyway, I was just reporting another idea :-$

Who's the guy that sells CDs in North Cross Road market? Does he have a shop, or is it just a Saturday/spare time thing?


Louisiana

A car park is a good idea, but where...?

And the guy that sells CD's on Northcross road doesn't have a shop. He sells CD's at s few markets, but no shop. Despite his stall not having a massive range, it does have a great selection of good music.

And it seems a suggestion of M+S crept in earlier in the thread. To this i'd say a big fat NO!

I think a car park is a terrible idea. I would suggest that all it would do would encourage even more cars into ED for shopping etc: build a 500 car car-park and 1000 cars will arrive. Roughly the same principle applies when motorways are given more lanes...


As for an M & S, I'd welcome a "Simply Food" branch if it took over the Somerfields...


Anyway I think what ED really needs is a newsagent who will deliver Sunday papers...>:D<

I've just come back from Japan, where a lot of the stations have loads (ie hundreds) of lockable cycle racks, for just over one pound a day. It would be very handy to have the same thing here. Mind you... this being London, the racks (and bikes) would probably just get vandalised.

Ther lockers at ED station (under the bridge) are 75 quid per year (plus a 25 quid refundable padlock deposit). You can book them from [email protected] or phone on 01752 202116.


I reckon that's cheaper than a pound a day!


PS It's subsidised by the local council as a test, and they do a quick background check first (e.g. check your place of work).


Hurrah!

casper - you are popping up in lots of threads "wondering" about the rumours you've heard about a new shop opening up which some "local nosey parker thinks is going to be a maternity shop" and "reckoning" we need a maternity shop. Your fingers wouldn't be inky from the fresh signing of a new commercial lease would they?


Why not just come clean and say you're opening a new shop if you are.


Your surreptitious marketing techniques are a bit transparent.


Or perhaps you are just extremely interested in maternity wear? You're certainly right that there are plenty of bumps about, but to my eye they're always very nicely turned out already...

    • A few weeks ago I parked in the parking space at the lordship lane end of Matham Grove.  It is free to park there for 30 mins but you have to register on the pay by phone app.  For which you pay a 20p admin fee - which is outrageous in itself. Anyway I put it on the app and was gone no longer than 10 minutes. When I came back I found a warden issuing a ticket.  I said that I had registered but when I opened the app there was just a wheel going round so there was a glitch with the app. The warden said that he had seen me leave my car so agreed I had not been longer than the allocated free time and did not warrant a ticket, but said he could not take the ticket back once issued but that our conversation was on record and I should appeal. so I did. I provided a photo of the app with the screen going around and which had timings on it.  My appeal has been rejected. Because I had not paid for parking which is free!!! to add to the confusion the 30 mins free parking sign had fallen off - see attached photo of the sign on both sides of Matham grove.    What I would like to know is do you think I should appeal the fine or pay the £55 fine now before it doubles??              
    • Nadia has helped us evolve our garden from a fairly unloved space to a stunning oasis the last few years. She’s brilliant at giving great advice on how to keep up her good work, advising on planting and doing some kind of witchcraft to make all the flowers bloom and the fruit grow on the trees. Lovely, hardworking and respectful team. Would recommend 100%
    • Hmm I suppose it depends on the decision of whoever is ‘in charge’  of the noticeboards and the nbs expressed purpose. 
    • If commercial concerns are able to use the noticeboards to advertise their businesses, will they be charged a commercial fee?
