Iceland eyesore

[sallyw]

Can we start a campaign to close Iceland and turn it into m& s simply food or waitrose. It's ruins look of lordship lane too cheap and ugly. Does not fit in with other nice shops and when I walk down north cross rd I just want it gone it's yuk

Uninspired troll of the day

[SeanMacGabhann]

What huncs said

[RosieH]

Is there not a troll school, providing tactics and brainstorming techniques to come up with ideas to get the punters going?

[????]

Troll must be very tall to see Iceland from Northcross Road too

[Cora]

Please tell me this is a wind-up post...it's worked!

[milk76]

Might be a wind-up, but Sally is not wrong.

[Narnia]

I like Iceland. It has veggie things and cheap wine. I like better wine but I can't afford it.

If so it can't be a very good school

Yep joined ten days ago and has posted four times........TROLL-TIME....

[Mrs Y]

I love Iceland ........................

[binary_star]

Christ, just be thankful there isn't a 99p store....yet!

[sophiesofa]

I would love a 99p store but luckily there's one in peckham so not far to go.

[????]

I love that store...I just wander round in Wonder...99P FOR THIS!

[????]

..my eyes are going so I go down to the ?1 store very so often and get about 5 pairs of reading glasses so I can leave them about the place...they cost about a Fooking ?10 in Sainsbury's and not much different...

[jctg]

and while we're at it can we get rid of all ugly people from the Lordship Lane/Northcross Road area as well please.

[panda boy]

And we must be able to do something about the smell, and the smelly people who wander around and make the place look untidy.

In this age of modern technology the council must be able to organise a crop duster full of febreze to spray the high street every day?

Oh, and each lamp post could be fitted with an atomiser that releases chanel no5 and timed intervals...

Sigh, hopefully this thread is a wind up...

Me too. Elephant and Castle has a couple of them. Why would you want to pay over the odds for something when you can get it for less. If a Waitrose or M&S came then the traffic would be a lot worse.

Iceland is very useful. Bought three cans of chickpeas for a pound. 2 packs of Somerset butter for ?2. They do two packs of crumpets for a ?1. You don't have to do all your shopping there.

[DJKillaQueen]

Wind up? Nooooooooo....I was just going to add can we rid the streets of Liberal Democrats too? :)

Having said that, I am suddenly reminded of the words of Pastor Niemoller....wih some ammendments ahem...

'They came first for Iceland,

and I didn't speak up because I didn't shop at Iceland.

Then they came for the ugly people,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't ugly.

Then they came for smelly people,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't smelly.

Then they came for Liberal Democrats,

and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Liberal Democrat.

Then they came for me

and East Dulwich had no-one left in it to speak for me.'

>:D<

[LordLaneship]

Did you know there was a homeless charity above it too??? Unbelievable - in East Dulwich of all places. Maybe we should get rid of those undesirables too?

Sally, for the love of god, if you want to 'campaign' please find something worthwhile to campaign about!

[computedshorty]

As others see us.

Just ten days for you to show your hand,

you say now? lets get rid of handy Iceland?.

The North Pole is in the northern hemisphere,

so Iceland should be found quite near.

It has been sited near the road of North Cross,

why move it away now ? I am at a total loss.

A Ninety Nine Pence store might be an attraction,

but at Pound Shop would cost more just a fraction.

A penny saved in the pocket may not seem a lot,

soon they will accumulate to fill up that Piggy pot.

Glasses bought there can help with your vision,

why pay more elsewhere that is your decision.

Please do not leave your trolley in the shopping aisle,

to get past a deserted one might take you a while.

Who moved the trolley now that it cant be found,

might have been those rats, or were they all drowned.

Don?t abandon your trolley in the stores car park,

a runaway one can make on a car, a dent mark.

And when can we get rid of all ugly people about,

just take a minute before you start to shout.

Go buy a mirror from the store that you selected,

take a good look at person that is reflected.

Think again on the remark you made so smugly.

Could it be you who is the one who is so ugly?

Bit rough on Sally, eh? I rarely visit Iceland, not with Sainsbury's DKH as my corner shop, but Sally's entitled, de gustibus!, to find it an aesthetic outlier. Or so it seems to me.

Whether Waitrose / M&S Simply Food would be an upgrade... there, I'm not sure.

And as far as pressing a campaign... oh, just fetch me a cider from the fridge, there's a love, I can't be bothered to get up myself.

Ya reckon? The Wetherspoon's bashing was borderline, but Iceland's pushing it too far, definitely a wind-up.
