Iceland to become a waitrose.

[DrDom]

Just had this confirmed by a friend of mine who works in the planning department at Southwark. Great news for East Dulwich I say.

[sophiesofa]

really?

[SimonM]

Yeah right.....

[tiger ranks]

for all the posh toffs of se22

[DrDom]

Because only posh toffs enjoy good food eh tiger?

[v_the_gelfling]

Boo hiss Tiger Ranks! I used to shop at Sainsburys but, for the past 4 months have been using Ocado as its actually cheaper. Seriously! Ocado may cheaper than the physical shop but its still good news that it will be arriving in ED none the less.

Shall be taking this news with a large pinch of salt (finest flaked sea salt, obviously) but would be quite pleased if it's true.

[MitchK]

Don't think so.

Good riddance to the common working class, I say.

Not a moment too soon.

If it happens it will brilliant and we would be another step closer to being more like Northcote Road. But I fear that the Iceland is too small - the Somerfield site is at the bottom end of their store size and Iceland is even smaller.

LOL. Is there some sort of collective aspirational movement to become more

like Northcote Road?

WHY WASN'T I INFORMED?

474 posts incanting the word 'Waitrose' in the forum since December 2006.

Nothing on the Southwark planning portal for that address.

(edit:Typo)

[Horsebox]

Does 'Waitrose in East Dulwich' qualify as an internet meme?

[matthew123]

Boo hoo where will I go for my weekly supply of frozen pizzas, and chicken nuggets!

Not my words, but those of someone I overheard on LL wearing a Chelsea baseball cap

[ruffers]

I know their economy's in trouble but that's a bit extreme.

What will Bjork's role be?

[????]

Have you a licence for these waters DrDom?

[Keef]

Good one Dom.

In all seriousness, a bloke from Labour knocked on our door the other night, and was telling us that the site of the Greyhound on Sydenham Road, has finally been sorted, and they're going to have a smaller pub, several flats, and some shops, and he said that Waitrose had been interested.

I suspect it won't come to anything, but I did joke to him and Mrs Keef that I'd fecking love it if Sydenham got a Waitrose before Dulwich!

Oh Puleeze.....

What, so you can strut along Lordship Lane.... "braying" into a mobile phone....& wearing an oversized "rugger" shirt, cargo shorts & Timberland deck shoes. With your goofy teeth hanging out to dry & a copy of the Saturday Telegraph jammed under your puny arm ?

Just like the other tossers in SW11

All the time kidding yourself "Ah yes I made it, saw the potential here in SE22 years ago"

Yeah ? "like I can't wait....."

Truth is you can't afford SW11, never could & never will.

FYI shops on NCR are closing down & it's a Co-op they have there not a friggin Waitrose

Other than that I bet you use phrases like "cool bananas" & "wow factor" to describe "things"

"Location location location ? "

"Oh, Yah... 'pparently The Lane in E.D was on tha' "

*snorttt*

W**F

I'm afraid that I too will be taking this news with a very large dose of (Himalayan pink) salt...

I mean....I nearly choked on my white peach bellini when I read the title of the thread...;-)

Utter Pish!

Never going to happen.
