M&S on Lordship Lane

[Alan Medic]

Red top and WHITE bread? Is the first compensating for the second?

Waitrose and ocado (home delivery services) have minimum spends (?40 -60 minimum spend) which is fine if you have a large family or do a fortnightly shop but if you want to buy small amounts frequently then those delivery companies aren't helpful.

Articles in the Evening Standard said Prince Charles was the Londoner of the Decade.

I assume they are some kind of hallucinogenic drug?? If so I'm sure you've arrived at the correct thread given some of the posts I've borne witness to on here..

M&S this morning opened late, only one (very pleasant) person on the till and no cherry cake! Might start going to the co-op again if it gets its act together.

I've said it before and I shall say it again, how this thread is providing me with amusement, we are now hearing that even the big issue man has moved to M&S!

you've obviously not seen how much Londis sell ice for..! If interested there is a whole new thread on this forum dedicated to the subject of Ice Cubes recently created by Louisa such is their local importance it seems.

[Louisa]

I've never seen ice cubes for sale in Londis and I am a pretty well known face in that shop, everyone knows me behind the counter. Friendly, lovely people. If they do sell ice cubes I would be shocked, as their frozen food selection is limited to potato waffles frozen peas and frying chips.

I think the M&S fad has worn off for me. I may pop in Friday morning for a nice Malbec if it's a chilly cloudy afternoon like today.

Louisa.

[Rosetta]

I get my ice cubes from Sainsburys, great for iced tea.

Seems M&S may have taken its toll on Londis frozen food department already... freezer in rear corner of shop currently completely empty.. having said that, the sticker indicating the price (should any be available) for party ice cubes still remains (bottom left corner).

Desperate scenes today.

Only two till open. Self-serve tills taped off. Barely enough room for a young child to navigate a scooter through the aisles, but he?s just about managing it!

?Incident? this mornjng just before opening. Coppers on Site but lots of last minute shopping still happening.

[taper]

I was in the queue when the Police let the store open. Carnage.

[hellosailor]

I was in the queue when it reopened too, no carnage at all just a queue of people waiting patiently in good spirits
