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.

    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
