So it's 10.45pm and I'm out of something and I think I know...Tesco Express on East Dulwich Road - open til 11pm. Will only take me a min or two to cycle down there and sure enough I am there at 7 mins to 11pm. I find the doors locked with two others outside who have been stood there a few mins themselves. In spite of the bright light advertising the opening hours of til 11pm the manager saw fit to lock the doors at 10.50 so that he could be out of there by 11 it seems.


It's no big deal but what really annoyed me is that the security guard refused to get the manager or to give us his name so that we could complain. In fact they all ignored us.


I won't be shopping there again.

Apologies for the off-topication, but you know what I hate? Non-brewed condiment. Give me Stork SB on my bread over non-brewed condiment on my chips any day of the week.

Undoubtably, but I think you meant "can I".

To which the answer would most certainly be, yes, you are capable of pickiness.

So, what you really meant was "may I".

Erm, Miss, Miss, Ms Picky. Can I be Ms Pickier..?

The number of times I've nipped in there to get something (margarine for example) and they've not had it defies belief.


another thing I tried (and failed) to purchase was refried beans. Actually, on that night I nipped across to the little convenience store next to Locale and asked if they had refried beans in stock. I was promptly told "no such thing exists!"


I've learnt it's often better to do the slightly longer walk to the Somerfield's on Lordship Lane than attempt the short stroll to the Tesco Depress .. express sorry..

What was it you were out of DJKQ?


#Out of my braaaain on the five fifteen# by The Who?


#I'm all out of love, I can't live without you, believe me something something something so looooong# by an American group whose name escapes me?


If it was neither of the above then you probably could've done without. Or opened a tin. or gone into the garden and foraged. Or made do.


OXO cubes aren't everything you know DJKQ.

Thats not true?! so long as they make remaining customers in the store know that there closing in 10 mins and stop letting people in at 5 to 11 there fine, the last of the customers can be served at 11:03 and they'd be safe??? so long as they can prove (CCTV??) that they made it clear and activly didnt allow NEW customers in past a reasonable time.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
