Sainsburys

whats going on with Sainsburys, thinking they are so posh, they now have posh shelfs and a new huge make up section which looked like they copied superdrug.


what I feel is extremely obnoxious of them is they now have all the expensive branded shower gels and shampoo together, but the cheaper versions of these items like soap and bath stuff are dumped in what use to be the toothpaste section. It took me 20 minutes to find a bar of soap.

That's very true. I too had trouble finding bars of soap. Very limited selection.


I was in Sainsbury's yesterday. It took me almost as long to find a member of staff on the shop floor

when I needed assistance.

Simple solution


Shop on lordship lane where (currently) parking is free on the side streets, fruit & veg in the independents is good quality and wide ranging, you can get good quality meat, fish and cheese and soap is easy to find in the right shops !


Most of all you will be spending your pound in mostly independent shops not chains


Win win

I sent my 11 yr old to find some hand soap on Sunday whilst in Sainsbury?s as first time there since refurb and he came back to say the only one he could find was ?16.. (we did not buy, I eventually found the old toothpaste section).

The basket self-checkout has become very efficient. You?ll find out why that is if you use the trolley self-checkout: half the people using it have baskets, but can?t be bothered to walk back down to the end. Look basket shoppers, just shove off to your own queue would you? Grr.

    • Hi, we’ve also had an increase of about 30% with no explanation on why the council is incurring in these costs.  no water, heating bills or works planned, just regular maintenance. It would be great to share information here on how things develop because if this continues to happen each year, services charges will be impossible to keep up with. 
    • This is disingenuous nonsense. There was a massive jump in cycling, above the trend, during COVID (when public transport numbers also fell through the floor). Despite fewer workers commuting daily into central London, cycling is up on pre-pandemic levels, which is not true for other modes of transport. The number of people cycling in central London has more than doubled since 2000 and cyclists now out number motorists in the City.
    • Very thoughtful and illuminating post.  I've never been attacked, and seen few incidents over the years.  Most worrying has been road rage and whilst I have been in the right, you learn when not to challenge someone (difficult at times to say can you please give me space, look before you turn and the like).  When I first came to London you'd see the odd brawl outside a pub, but it felt worse when I lived in more rural areas - bored youths and more tribal (the Abingdon youths having a brawl with Didcot).  Had one break in, two cars and three bikes stolen whilst I have been in London, although all but one bike not particularly valuable.  Breaking into builders vans seems the current trend, and stealing some high end motors - the latter was common when I worked on this issue twenty years ago so hasn't been sorted. But ultimately most of us are decent people, and our kids grow up to be decent people.  Although my peer group is people like you DD so I am somewhat biased!  How much greed/Thatchers children has changed things over the last forty years I don't know.  Of course nothing wrong with individuals wanting to be successful and to be a new owner/occupier in this area now you need to have some money behind you rather than us old hippies who moved in when it was a very different area.  And the high costs of renting too. Good points on the gangs, sadly I don't know the solutions.  I work with younger children and sometimes wonder how it can go so wrong in a few years time.   
    • nope - I can't see anything - what I said was "IF were to take a look we would see" But if we look at Cat's profile any of us  can see "last visited" - and he has been a frequent visitor
