They also had kennedys deli which I loved, but that has sadly closed down now, i'd love them to come to LL...


Beckenham is a bizarre place, it has a Waitrose M&S and sainsburys all within less than half a mile of each other, along with an Odeon cinema a lidls food shop and a number of annoying chain pubs full of so called 'chavs'. Bizarre place, it even has a tory mp! It all confuses me..

cheap German Goods? oh God. Do they sell Blue Nun and Black Tower?


What about the Co-Operative bank? ED is big on the Co-op. Funeral parlour, co-op supermarket. I want the bank. That would mean I wouldn't have to endure the trawl out to bloody Lewisham to get to my nearest branch.

I was going to contact karter privately about an exciting business opportunity, but a sense of public service and the need to share overwhelmed me.


The Woolwich premises are large enough for a 24/7 East Dulwich Babe 'n' Buggy Compound. Just like those multi-stacking garages in NYC. Deposit children and/or buggies on demand and pay by the hour with a discount for overnight storage.


Want to go shopping, have a meal, or go for a drink? Dump that child.


Partner away on a business trip and need privacy? Dump that child overnight.


It could be a money machine.

the co-op supermarket (if it can be called that) are selling their own version of the much loved jute/cloth bag now, along with all the others in ED. I forget what my point is, if indeed there is a point....um


Well the co-op bank yes please, and the baby storage place, also sounds like winner.

Baby storage sounds tops. Just drug them up for the necessary period of tme, tube-feed them with an automated system and find some way of dealing with the waste products. It could eventually become a vast toddler warehouse resembling the Matrix! Best of all - noise-free!

Not a Rat & Parrot either, anymore anyway - it changes to a (spit) Zizzi pizza joint a couple of years back


When it was the Rat & Parrot I met George Underwood there - he was the guy who punched Bowie and caused the operation at Kings College hospital which led to the permanently dilated pupil. He did the cover to Hunky Dory too

I spoke to the cashier at Barclays today and he told me that the vast majority of former Woolwich branches would remain and be re-branded as Barclays, the only ones going would be those situated close to a current branch of Barclays which would not be needed any longer. When I asked him about the retail space he looked across to a colleague who I recognised as a former Woolwich employee, and she said that a number of ideas had been kicking around for well over a year, and that speculation was that a shoe shop called 'Blue Velvet' had been discussing the lease on the unit. Anyone know anything about them? Are they an indepedent shoe shop?



Not a duplicate post, my mistake.

    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough, it’s a pleasure to have him working on the house and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
