Nope that's my memory - mid 80s. When they launched Next Direct especially that was a compulsory Yuppie catalogue to have...and up there wityh house prices in dinner party conversations....at laest one of those tedious sujects no longer features at dinner parties,,,,infact, do people do dinner parties (very 80s alongside Black Tie parties/balls)

I had a girlfriend who was on the 'next' tip


She dragged me round that shop soooo many times


Good training for learning to say "Nope, I an't doing that" no more


She set me up for life


Tho I still shudder when I see the place/catalogue

I may be wrong but I *think* you had to actually pay for the catalogue?

Next was definitely quite classy when it first opened, SJ, kind of Hobbs and Jigsaw end of the market. I remember when the Knightsbridge branch opened. Great excitement. Never worked for me sadly as in those days they made for taller women.

you TRYIN to wind me up Jeremy.....HATE, HATE those as well. And while we are at, any belt that every came from Next, they can get it too. See aslo cuff-links!

Any more heat and they'll combust. I stick the pan on the gas flame for a while before throwing in the batter, just to make sure that oil is smokin'.


But it's the fact that IN THE SAME BATCH some will rise and some won't that truly annoys me. I need Heston Blumen-wotsit on the case. There's some science here I'm missing.

    • It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.
    • Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.
    • Completely jobless and lunatic behaviour coming on a forum and complaining about a 4 year old and the child’s bike riding skills. Honestly grow up
    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
