I've lived in the area for getting on 13 years now and seen it change (the increasing skips on the street being the main indicator). My number one for a new shop would be a turkish style grocer. Lots of fresh fruit, veg, herbs, bread, olives etc. But ED it ain't round here. For a few months last year, Eostre tried an organic veg stall on Saturday mornings. I thought they were pretty good value, but they stopped trading, despite only having to turn over ?500 of sales to make it viable. This area's social mix is vastly different to ED's - long may it remain so. After all we have the luxury of the world food market on Rye Lane and the delis of LL. I for one hope the Peckham Plan doesn't attempt to 'mall' Rye Lane.

Kindness - an underrated virtue.
