At least they'd have Waitrose and M&S in Croydon.

I'm not a snob, have lived in the area for 29 years except for 1 year when I moved away but have come back to good old South East London and love it, I don't think Iceland is unsuitable for East Dulwich but I would never shop there. I haven't been into an Iceland since I was about 7yrs old and dragged there by my Mum and from what I remember it was all frozen junk food but I may be wrong now, perhaps I will pop in and see how it's changed! I do an Ocado shop because they do Tesco price match and I can't always be bothered to drive to the Beckenham branch of Waitrose. Generally the choice of food is much better in Waitrose and for someone who cooks a lot I can never get all the ingredients I need in Sainsburys also it's a less stressful shop in Waitrose for many reasons. My suggestion would be to leave Iceland where it is for the people who want and replace Foxtons with a Waitrose!
I totally agree with DJKQ, there are some people on low income in ED that might shop at Iceland I myself like to mix and match my shops nothing wrong with that ED it not just for the middle classes to decide what shops should be here, my grandparents came here in the 50s from the Caribbean no doubt there are others to all over ED if anybody should have any objections is that generation.

Oh FFS :)):)):))


If you want an area without an Iceland in it, f**k off somewhere else :))

Eh? Three bottles for a tenner? Don't think "most supermarkets" can beat that :)


I think Iceland's wine is fine for the price - it's cheap plonk obviously, but it's not undrinkable.


Lidl might be OK but having to trek down to the bottom of Bellenden Road to get there is not much fun unless you live in that direction.


ETA: I once had some sort of fake Baileys from Lidl, and it was absolutely disgusting.

Did you know that in Primark you are not actually permitted to buy things? You are only to take them off the shelf, have a look at them and then throw them on the ground with the hanger or try and force them back into the middle of the pile you took them off, messing everything up ;)

what wines were they?


Don't ever join Naked Wines, rip-off disguised as charitable enterprise for budding winemakers.

According to recent tv adds,Waitrose is no more expensive than Tesco for named brands.


That's food for thought! To be honest Iceland always seems half empty and I woudn't be a bit surprised if it does close down. Lets face it most people in ED would like to see the back of shops like that. Its just plain snobbery.

Who are 'most people in ED'? Would these be the people who have lived her since before LL started to get tarted up or those who moved in because of it? It's clear that enough people do shop there or it simply wouldn't be there.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
