save the high street, avoid amazon.

Next it will be the fault of Thatcher's privatisation. People buy shares and expect a return, perhaps the question to be asking is where did all the money generated from the sale of shares go, what did Royal Mail do with it all? If you know do please tell? I'd guess it went on exorbitant salaries for incompetent CEO's and the like at RM.

Clearly people want a postal service but some do not want to pay for it and then moan when it fails, I'd suggest use it or lose, is the simple answer.

Yes and I have a source 185's aren't "electric", they run on batteries which has to be charged and where does the enegy come from that, oh I know, fossil fuels. Oyster was done before Khan was in office, what integrated system ? Not getting into a ulez debate, for the record I disagree with ulez, is that not why vehicles pay road tax, for which Battery vehicles will also now be paying or very soon.

What does climate change have to do with bus frequency, really!!!!!!!!!!!! I do despair Totally disagree, Khan has been a diabolical example of a mayor and in fact London does not need a Mayor, the city ran perfectly well without one. It's another layer of unneeded bureaucracy that we pay for and the money could be much better spent rather than on the exorbitant salaries at city hall and the consultants they employ on even more eye watering wages.

That applies to many roads, pretty much a hit or miss approach by LB S.

It is not that buses do not run as per the timetable but khan has managed to reduce the number of buses running per hour on local routes, i.e. P12, P13, 78. And what is this nonsense about holding buses to "even out the service" and why is it when buses are "due" on the indicator board, i.e the 63 at Camberwell Old Cemetery, the buses remain parked up rather than running as is indicated and scheduled??? There are no bendy buses operating in London, so why make the point? Khan remains a huge liability to London in general, come May I only hope he gets booted out of office and so are the LTN's and ULEZ, which I'm sure won't please you M.

Dean Sullivan (actor) also passed away yesterday aged only 68.

Currently £93.50 in Lewisham and expected to rise AGAIN in April 2024

I was in late lunchtime today, I had my list, got the items I wanted, got to self service trolley check out and there was a queue, BUT it moved quickly, scanned my items, used my nectar card, paid and in and out in less than 15-20 minutes, so I had a very good experience. PLUS, thumbs up to the bakery section, the lady running it does a superb job and she's a STAR. The team deserve recognition for how they've turned it around over the past 18months.

thanks for the clarification.

So from that can I take it that they will not be closed for 3-4 days but RATHER are closing at 10pm rather than 11pm for 3-4 days from 1st December? They've been closing at that time for probably the past six weeks, since all this refurbishment work began and will do so until 1st December. If they were going to be closed for 4 days surely there would be big notices in the shop? Mis-information just causes confusion and isn't helpful.

Sainsburys did the same thing to the branch in Forest Hill a couple of months ago

Didn't see any obvious signs yesterday.

A quick update following a trip to DKH today. The fridges by the bakery have all been relocated and the stock sits in the same aisle as dairy products. Lots of new freezer units filled with produce has been temporarily installed along the frozen food section. The banana stand remains in the same aisle but has been replaced and moved much closer to the end of that aisle Still very much a hunt and search shop today which of course takes longer to find what you're after. There are staff re-stocking shelves and if you ask they try to help. Unfortunately some mumble rather than speak clearly even after several attempts!!!!!!!! arghhhhhhhhhhh

see https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/register/organisation/?sraNumber=508445#headingRegulatoryRecord click on This firm's regulatory record and then on Closure below that.

It resembles work in progress, much of it is considered to be improvements, i.e. lighting the individual areas within the fruit and veg section, installation of the new low level refrigeration units etc, however it results in having to hunt around the store for what you wish to purchase, (maybe part of their plan to get customers to spend more). From week to week aisles have been moved to different locations within the store. The only help has been from the pieces of paper are now hanging at the end of aisles saying where things are. Otherwise it's pretty much "hunting season". I use Sainsbury's for particular items and ditto with Morrisons, (Asda/Tesco occasionally again for specific items) and Lidl, plus a near on weekly trip to a butcher just off the Old Kent Road. It's a case of shopping around for the best prices for the things I need on a week to week basis, similar to what Pugwash does.

Ok, some good points raised, can you share some of these gems you describe with us so we can go and try and do our own comparisons.
