Yes to be honest I don't understand the point of the thread. Is there a point? I mean, who really cares?


I would welcome a Waitrose because I think they are kinder to the suppliers and a more ethical company to deal with. For the same reason, I'm not so keen on M&S. That said, I think the Co-op has a good reputation with suppliers. So I'm kinda happy then.


Is Louisa trying to make a point because I'm not getting it and to be honest I'm bored with all mention of Waitrose on the forum. Waitrose is the new Foxtons.

Sean it's exactly this sort of response that has forced so many regular ED forumites to abandom posting on here anymore! Keef, as you rightly point out, it is a bit of fun.. and as you are more aware than probably anyone else, a large contingent of people on here were singing the praises of Waitrose setting up shop around here, smugly grinning away like a Cheshire cat as if ED had bagged the first SE London Waitrose long before any evidence of them opening up around here even existed! And now that Sydenham looks as though it is in line for a store all of this lot on here either pass off what I say as nonsense, (apparantly there never was some sort of embargo to get a store setup around here... look back at the old threads my friends and you'll see otherwise) or they dismiss me as "trolling again".


As for you giggirl, i've told you what the "point" of this thread is all about, clearly you cannot understand or choose not to if you fail to understand the point of my threads, I dont really understand the point in your response to be fair! Anyway, I wont bother talking to you about this anymore.. it's boring me!

Ach Louisa, I do know what you mean - people on here have been slightly pant-wettingly excited about Waitrose in the past - I'm just not sure where the volte face has come in (same people? surely not Brendan???)


Anyway, I AM fun - come and have a Baileys with me at my desk.

That's it...



I'm selling my house in "Leafy ( even morrisons folded here ) Sydenham" & cashing in



Then a smart move back to E.D. for a "double bubble" Waitrose bonanza



( I hear South Norwood is on the up ( up on crime, up on street drinking ) so may start snooping there too )

So we've established that Beckenham has a Waitrose AND a Nandos AND a brilliant spa/pool. And let's not forget the art deco Odeon on the roundabout. When you think about it we haven't got that much to shout about. But we have the forum though - that's ours.

Brendan - you don't know an uncomfortable seat if you think Beckenham is bad. For an extra ?2 you can upgrade to a super dooper seat with room for your popcorn and your feet can't even touch the seat in front (OK I guess yours could). Plus, did I mention that there's a Nandos over the road?

Or of course Lolly, go through the thread and replace 'Waitrose' with 'waitress', link it with the 'Le Piaf' thread and see what happens when those two worlds collide.


Us scientists have done some cyphering and we reckon it'll top up with a GAP on Goose Green, and we're not even lying.

Yeah, you know why that is Brendan - cos we've got the GOOD food worth arguing over, innit.

louisa you have never changed your tune. whether i agree with it or not i don't care but you are a returning breath of fresh air and it's true, people were wetting themselves over a waitrose, i still wouldn't mind one but who cares? as for the forum being an asset...i'm prouder of the adventure bar.

      TDR Dulwich Property Maintenance

      By AoifeS · Posted

      We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested.

      When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
