The Co-op is great. Ethical, good value, care about their customers. Decent products. Were into Fair Trade for all the right reasons, long before the other supermarkets jumped on the bandwagon because they thought they would lose customers if they didn't. I think this is a really good thing for East Dulwich. We can't all afford M&S and Waitrose, and I'm pretty sure the Co-Op will be a lot better than Somerfield was. Though Somerfield had already begun to improve considerably of late, with Co-op brands appearing on the shelves.

I'm sure I read on the forum a while ago that someone had bought this site?

I bought my granddaughter a slinky but the stairs of her house are too wide for it to slink down, it was very disappointing :-S

Some of Norma Waterson's singing last night - absolutely heart to heart. Best thing I've heard for ages.

And I am listening to FlapJackDavey's choice of music - OK so far apart from one weird track five minutes ago when I was forced to go to the kitchen to get more alcohol. Jon Boden at the moment in his Remnant Kings incarnation. :)-D

Quiet evening in, Woof?

If you have any connection with the EDT, you will know why I am unhappy with the EDT. I run www.thegooseisout.com. The EDT asked us to run gigs there, which we did very successfully, then kicked us out with no warning after a few months, leaving us to find a new venue for a gig we had already sold out for. Don't want to rake up old stuff, but you did ask.

Yeh well they allowed sixty seconds at the end of the programme to discuss it, so not much time for anything other than a kneejerk reaction, but I agree with you in general.

We should have an ISB Appreciation Society! ISBAS :)

I wonder whether they have to get permission from Somerfield to sell in that place, and if so I wonder whether Somerfield knows any of the background, not that they'd probably tell anyone else.

Explain what?

Some of us don't have front gardens :-$

If they can afford to buy and run a car, then surely they can't be homeless, can they? All-Seeing, are you absolutely sure this is their car? How do you know?

You're also nice and near Ganapati for excellent food :)

The Big Issue sellers outside Somerfield? I find that a bit hard to believe, TASE. If you can convince me that it's true, they won't be getting any more money from me. The people who piss me off are the ones who sit outside Londis (opposite the Palmerston) on Friday and Saturday nights. What do they do the rest of the week? Haven't seen them lately though.

So Scott - given all the comments on this forum, what are your current thoughts on the name?

The ones you mention are presumably annual weeds and hence easily controlled by hoeing etc.?
