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..

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      By Alec1 · Posted

      With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.

      Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..

      Green/Sedum Flat Roof

      By ElenaR · Posted

      Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
