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.

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
