Thanks for the tip Nancy.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I love it around here and would never ever move back to North London if you paid me BUT a Waitrose somewhere in the vicinity- it doesn't have to be Dulwich, it could be Peckham, Camberbell, Elephant and Castle, I don't really care. Then maybe I wouldn't have to deal with the awful music they play in Morrisons just to buy a bag of quinoa.

Theres a Waitrose in Mottingham Dartford and Biggin Hill and those areas are far from up market.


All this fuss Waitrose is just a nice place to shop and not much more expensive then say Morrisons.


I'm surprised that ED hasn't got one. After all most of like John Lewis.

Not madly wild about Waitrose fruit and veg - Lidl is much much cheaper (although you do have to take what they have) but Waitrose is a far nicer shopping experience. The aisles are wider, the staff are more friendly and the wine selection is superior to other supermarkets. Iceland does have fantastic offers on things like t-bags and other stock items such as sugar are also very reasonable. I'd rather save where I can on some items so that I can afford to splurge on others. Each to their own I guess.

FWIW mine was in what I took as the spirit of the OP - I was poking fun at the snobs. But I'm starting to doubt whether the OP was a wind-up after all!

Either troll or very very sad

Popped in to see my elderly house-bound neighbour this morning. She had just popped her dinner into the oven: Roast chicken, potatos, peas, carrots and a small sausagey thing - all out of a box from Iceland, ?1.50. Wouldn't be my choice but it's ideal for people like her who live on their own, can't get out, and rely largely on what's in their freezer to keep them going through the week.

Was she slow-cooking the ready meal?

It's ridiculous that Waitrose don't own a single store with an 'SE' postcode. What's that about? Personally I'd like to see one in ED, or somewhere nearby.


Would be funny if they opened one in Peckham, just for of the indignation it would cause amongst ED residents.


The original post was clearly trolling by the way. Must have touched on something though as we're still talking about it 5 pages later.

Budget stores look horrible in UK, but in Germany/France, Greece stores, like Aldi, Lidl, Netto, are well kept outside and inside and it is a pleasure to shop. Overseas these shops, which in UK are considered discount stores, are at the same level as Carrefour and AUCHAN. I have been to some during holidays and have found they are kept in better conditions than their correspondent in UK. Some of their food are better quality than the one sold in other major stores in UK.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
