My old mum was a fan of M&S in Bromley.. She did not have a lot of money. Iv'e still got some of the old black canvas M&S bags...


But I simply must pay them a visit with some Iceland bags.. after the initial histeria has died down.


When Tescos used to give points for each bag you brought with you.. They refused points because I had some Sainsburys bags.


The new store might be wake up call for the dreadful Co-Op to make some changes..

it's a picture of the Dulwich Picture Gallery gardens - why they've used that in the photo list I've no idea!

Hi there


I couldn't find any info about bookings at the hotel on that link and I may need to book a few rooms for relatives around the beginning of September. Do you have another link?


Thanks

Yes - the 750k must buy you a bit of Dulwich Picture Gallery. It probably comes out of the 200k above market you are paying for the apartment.

Pehaps you can see the garden with a telescope from the roof.. :)

A casual walk down NCR this afternoon left me with the awful realisation that the once local Iceland landmark had been covered in disgusting scaffolding with huge grey RSJ's jutting out from the roof. What an awful ugly overbuild for a residential neighborhood, soon to possibly be joined by another over development opposite. This is similar to when some once grade two listed buildings in Camberwell were pulled down to build flats. Totally out of character with the neighborhood. Very sad.

Well, the building was no grade II listed gem. It was a rather unattractive mid century development.


Post redevelopment it is one floor taller and has converted the office use above the shop to residential space in addition to adding in the new floors. Adding that floor might arguably be over-development but let's not pretend that the building was something it wasn't.

LM some of the finest architectural treats aren't necessarily grade 2 listed. Much like the old St Mary's Road Church in Nunhead was, or the swimming pool building inside crystal palace park, this particular gem on LL was a landmark many of my generation can remember being built.


The former Iceland building started life as Tesco, then became Bejams, which was taken over by the Iceland group in the early 1990's. That building has been a monument to 20th century architecture, a stunning embodiment of everything that is and was ED. The current overhaul of it's look seems like an attempt to wipe its history away and pretend that it's a new building with a new glossy retail unit at the bottom alongside numerous expensive flats above.


Architectural folly, destroying a gem to create a faceless corporate design. All the worst traits of globalisation and capitalism combined.

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
