Traditional deli's began to suffer and struggle when the supermarkets opened instore deli counters and could purchase and supply goods at lower prices as they bought in bulk that deli's could not ultimately deal with and slowly but surely they began to close. But now the supermarkets have all but closed their deli counters perhaps this opens the opportunity for those who fancy a punt and have the experience to open new deli's, and likewise bakeries to open that produce bread and not the reheated frozen "bread" sold by the supermarkets which they purport to be instore baked. They or at least Sainsbury's and I guess this applies to the other three multi national supermarkets no longer scratch bake. It would be so good to se traditional delis and bakeries re-open.

There where a couple of really old Italian deli's one on Farringdon Road, the other on Caledonian Road which was run by a really old guy and his shop cat. It ceased trading in about 2016 I think. He had the most amazing fresh Italian stringed sausages, Parmesan cut off the block, proper Italian bread, all manner of Italian cheeses, hand sliced cured meats. Such a loss when he eventually closed up.

Traffic lights, (3 - way) Junction of Woodvale with Melford Road this morning, 06/08/25 Any idea wht the impact re-routing will be for P13?

Just came across Davidstow Crackler as an extra mature cheddar (available in most supermarkets), but still no replacement for Canadian Extra mature cheese that is unavailable and has been for some years. My go to cheese is Comte (surprisingly good value from Tesco) and a really nice blue is Dolcellate (supermarket available). The other go to has to be Lidl's Deluxe Parmigiano Reggiano for grating over pasta, matured and IMO generally better than other supermarket Parmesan cheese.

Sad to have seen The Grove sit empty and decay for so long. Perhaps Dulwich Estates will now do "something" with the former building and land and put it to some good use. Let's have a Lidl.

Another bit of architecture that's about to get demolished.

Megan's East Dulwich is TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you go across Honor Oak Park into Brockley Rise, where the P12 ends its journey, there is a little TV repair shop, hopefully Adrian can help you fix your hifi

So it wasn't recent then....................................

When did I mention these, oh I didn't, you did.

War has consequences and its always the people who suffer. This is tax payers money being used to provide food for another country, the UK can't afford it. What does Starmer and Reeves keep on repeating that they are trying to fix the financial blackhole they "apparently" inherited. Simple the UK can't afford to be bailing out money, harsh yes, honest yes, unless you want to pay vastly more tax, oh that's what Reeves is planning for her Autumn budget anyway. All that happens is that the some become even more hard up, whilst the likes of the rich, it doesn't touch the sides. Wake up.

Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens. People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed. Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing. Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work. Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.

How about feeding those here at home first, rather than dealing with overseas humanitarian crisis.

Sour dough, it#s an import, give us back our OWN bread. The Cheese Block sell samosas

Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?

Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them. "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British. ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣

As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.

No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples. Sep, you don't even live here.
