I really hope they can make a go of it. I expect the rent for that site is pretty high these days and there's not much [ET correct predictive sp] profit in craft materials. It would be great if they also do workshops as no doubt there are a lot of people who'd be interested.

That "sorely missed" deli scored very low in the hygiene ratings. I seem to remember only "1".

Good luck to this new craft shop. I don't miss the deli place one bit, it was the catalyst for the areas change, replacing a much loved second hand shop, which incidentally I still miss. At least this new place will be useable. We need a high street which offers retail diversity and I welcome this addition.

NewWave - I went in twice also, as the first time I thought I was mistaken, they could not possibly be so ignorant? ventured in again looking for Italian cake and Serrano ham and other goodies : we walked in and greeted the behind counter staff - no response - went through to the adjoining section - felt so uncomfortable we left. And certainly do not miss it.



A craft shop, especially if they run courses will do well, as Louisa points out, we need retail diversity, and it seems as though we are going to get it!

Well .. when it comes to The E.D. Deli.. Mr. Fox, you know the miserable (old) git.. most negative poster here on EDF

has to say that on the few times I used this place they could NOT of been more helpful.


I was looking for Low G.I. bread and was treated to an in depth chat about their breads and what might be the best for my needs.


I had other similar experiances at other times but cannot recal them specifically.


Perhaps other people felt 'neglected' while I held their attention.


When you talk to people.. and take an interest in what they are doing, they treat you with respect..


I wish the new Shop all the very best.. I think they too will be a valuable addition to L.L.

I quite liked ED deli. The service did seem slightly abrupt at times... always just assumed it was because they were rushed in there. But anyway, we have other deli places including Cheese Block, General Store (Peckham), "Organic Village", and even M&S might have a reasonable selection of bits of pieces. So I think we'll survive. Hope the new place does well.

The ED Deli was a real oasis back in 2002, I remember. Their brownies are sadly missed, though I agree the service was a bit chilly in recent years (thought it was just me so good to know others felt the same). Several times I walked out in sheer irritation at being ignored for ages. SMBS seems to be going the same way.


Always interesting to hear who actually uses which shops. I've never understood how the Coop keeps going but someone must like it.


Back on topic, I'd like it if the craft shop did some crochet workshops.

I can't say 'craft shop' fills me with tremendous excitement, but anything that isn't an estate agent or identikit curry house is good news. Hopefully it will return The Spirit Of Ralon back to LL - with CCTV, tripwires and a machine gun nest guarding the Staedtler pen carousel.

Lidl do a low GI multigrain loaf which is delicious and sells quickly.

I doubt you will have as much attention as in the ED deli



A craft shop is restoring independents to our high street,

a counter balance to the changeling behemoth now in our midst.

Its one chain replacing another chain (I assume you mean M&S). Nothing has changed except M&S is slightly more upmarket. But let's not exaggerate: Eltham and Brixton both have M&S's as o many other locations in South London. I don't think its nearly as upmarket as some people seem to suggest.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
