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..

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.

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.

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.

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By No-flies · Posted

      Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

      Moved Back, Mates Moved Out – Fancy a Pint?

      By G22 · Posted

      A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋

      It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
