As soon as it starts snowing, you'll be the second to know.


As for the Co-op, I don't know. Off the top of my head - they could do away with the cereals aisle and install a single bowling lane. Wednesday night could be 'Grindr Night' - with 2 for 1 on whole chickens. A terrifying clown out front after school doing free face-painting would be a hit with the kids.

For me the 'Soviet' shopping experience was memorable if rather surreal. Went (of course in the snow, and at -25C to the state record shop in Moscow (this is just before the soviet system disintegrated). Not a single CD on display, just empty shelves (as with all the other shops).


However .... you just had to show either a few dollar bills or some Marlborough ciggies (nothing else would do) and back doors would miraculously open. No other way of acquiring the "Ministry of Culture Orchestra's" complete collection of Shostakovitch's symphonies for $15 :-).


What may lie behind the empty shelves at the co-op, who knows?

I think Waitrose have missed the boat - I was not particularly an M&S fan but I think they have got the offering correct for East Dulwich. I think more interesting would be if Aldi took over The Co-op premises.

What do you find wrong with the food?


Everything I have had from there so far has been excellent.

The food is far too bourgeois. The wine, however, has verifiable working class origins.....


Time for a Yellow Card, surely??

Mango was pre-cut and packaged.

I baulked at the price but was out with my daughter and it was that or something else.


It was actually very very nice and while I wouldn't buy it very often, I would probably buy it again....


CONvenience, indeed.

Overpriced ready meals. Don't quite understand why anyone would pay over the odds for food you can get elsewhere for those prices. I will concede on the iced lemon drizzle cake however, very nice.

It certainly is time for a yellow card, notably for you, for your unashamed goading.

I think you've answered your own question.

No I haven't answered my own question. I went on to make the point the lidl equivalent was almost identical for half the price available at marks. A ready meal and bread are hardly comparable anyway. A heavily processed salt filled ready meal is going to be the same whether it's from Iceland or M&S, it's the price that's the key difference.

For the umpteenth time, if you don't like M&S food, you're not under a legal obligation to shop there.


Some people moaned incessantly when the new cinema opened. As we are sadly aware, some people have moaned incessantly about the new M&S. No doubt if Waitrose opened in LL, people would moan about that as well.

In the main people have not moaned about the coming of M&S..


People have moaned about the loss of Iceland.


That's two different things..

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      By Mabaker · Posted

      Well, they're back today. Something must have spooked them yesterday. And yes, like Angelina, my pigeons are also well turned out. They all wear the same uniform. I think they may be stock doves. As well as Mr and Mrs Woodpigeon I also get the collared doves.

      they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
