I've defended the Co-op on here for ages, but after recently going in for cornflakes and finding just empty shelves, plus buying fruit which turned out to be rotten, I am reluctantly forced to agree.


I have never found the staff rude though, apart from one woman who I've never seen since. But yes the queues are often ridiculous.


I recently realised how extremely expensive the DKH Sainsburys is. I have started doing my main monthly shop in Lidl and Tesco in the Old Kent Road (on my way back from the tip :)) )

Sue I recall that you would jump in to defend the Coop, now at least you have seen for yourself the valid reasons for peoples frustration. Sainsbury is increasingly expensive, it's true.

We are currently raiding Savers, for toiletries, hand wash and Fairy liquid ?1 and half the price of SDKH. The nearest one is Rye Lane. Not too far from the tip! happy shopping

I don't mind the coop on LL Though i do find its prices on the high side, so only pop in if I need something and can't be bothered to pop to Sainsbury's... tho I loathe the one on forest hills rd, only stop in there if i need to get something on the way home from work as its convenient, the queues and narrow aisles !

I doubt very much if I'll pop into M&S as I don't really like their stuff tbh & will still use the coop on the lane if i need anything whilst there.

It used to be Somerfield before its Co-op incarnation, I think.

Romany creams are not really called that, are they? (I'd've thought they must be "members of certain travelling commmunities creams" at least.) To keep it on thread, it will be interesting to see whether CoOp changes for the better with the opening of the new branch of not-just-any-supermarket.

The M&S would be an improvement if they stick to their scheduled opening hours. On more than one occasion, I've gone along to the Co-Op at 9:30pm on the promise that they'd be open until 11pm, only to find that they'd already shut for that day (tends to be Tuesday and Saturdays).

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
