Standing At The Crossroads: Eddie & Ernie

I really feel for you. One of the reasons I decided not to replace my car when it died a few years ago was that it was constantly vandalised when parked outside my house on Lordship Lane. My wing mirrors were twisted off, the passenger door was jemmied, the paintwork and scratched something was put in the locks. It was an average Renault Clio so not exactly a high end vehicle. I hire cars or a use a car club now - it suits me, although not ideal on a nice day like this when I could jump in car and go for a drive in the country.

You have spurred me to action. Bought a new half price hedge trimmer at Argos last weekend, just before the deluge. No excuse today so one small section of Lordship Lane is easier to pass and less unsightly.

Lucky Seven: The Skatalites

I've shopped there a fair bit since they opened and found the staff to be generally helpful and friendly. It's a shame they got a reputation for being rude as you can't afford to get a bad reputation now that there is so much competition, although I do wonder that some people never use a store again after one bad experience (although I did the same with Oliver Bonas so maybe I shouldn't judge others!). Their take-away lasagne and quiches were great and I was partial to their goats cheese and beetroot salad. At one time, their cakes were excellent (if not particularly cheap). When they first opened, they sold the best ice cream in East Dulwich. I frequently had their 'two for the price of one' bread at the end of the day, which usually stayed fresh for a couple of days. As others have said, I just hope that what replaces them IS as improvement.
