Yes, well said, sadly some people seem to think the ED community consists only of people who can afford to shop at Waitrose.

Iceland doesn't just sell Frozen Food.


It sells.. Bread...Biscuits... Crisps... Sweets.. Chocolate... Soft Drinks... Cakes...

Lots of things.. and is cheaper than the other shop on the corner of North Cross rd.

and it has a small car park at the rear.


...and provides some local jobs...


... and there are always people in there...


... and it has survived a long time... unlike some other shops...

eh? :))

Iv lived and was born here, I love waitrose and go to Bromley, I like M&S Igo to Walworth Rd or Lewisham dont you know some people have been here all their lifes but can only afford Iceland so whats your problem why did you choose to move here if you dont like shops take your sad little life back to where you come from which I guess is Iceland free

So if Iceland goes, should we get rid of Favourite Fried Chicken for being out of character? Or Londis and the other convenience stores as they don't sell trendy produce?


May I suggest to the OP that she moves to Beckenham which may be more along the type of shops she can spend her cash at instead.

The only time I have bought cheese that was mouldy, or cucumber that was rotting or yoghurt where the pot was cracked was when I shopped at Waitrose. You don't pay for extra quality at places like Waitrose and M&S, you pay for the name. Food at Iceland is just as good and wholesome as it is in the up market supers, so long live Iceland on Lordship Lane.


I use it (Iceland on Lordship Lane that is) quite often actually.

One in the master bedroom, another in the maid's quarters and a third in the dungeon.

Re the perpetual Waitrose thing....I'm not convinced. I think we'd be better served by a Gulfstream dealership.

Fly like a G6.

Chest freezers and Iceland - I think its an association from childhood, the 70's hey day of bulk buying massive tubs of ice cream, big bags of chips and burgers etc etc. That's the Iceland brand in my mind and its sort of stuck. But I remember that as what I think you would call 'aspirational' now; modern families eating exotic foods like frozen lasagne and prawn cocktail. My mother thought chest freezers were a danger (risk of falling in) so we had a tiny upright and hence never went to Iceland. Having three of them must be a significant risk, have you alerted your insurers?


And its still an ugly building - and it will still be an ugly building if it housed some uber cool trendy farmer's market, Waitrose or Lidl - and yes I shop in all 3, the latter with equal frequency.

Surely you noticed those foodstuffs where not of the right quality when you put them in your basket?!


p.s. you do pay for extra quality at Waitrose. Maybe there are some idiots out there who just shop there for the name, but generally it's because it stocks premium products as well as the normal branded groceries you get at most other supermarkets. I'd have to disagree with you when you say Iceland is just as good quality-wise!!!

I like Iceland. I like Vimto and their coconut milk is half the price of that in Sainsbury's and their crumpets are dead cheap and if ever I fancy fish fingers they're good and toilet roll is often on special offer.


I like Waitrose. I like rillettes (no other major multiple seems to stock it and when the deli did it was ?6 for a jar), and they make good pies and their figs are currently half price and their prepared food is usually (though not always) nicer tasting than Sainsbo's or Tesco.


I also like big butts and I cannot lie.

Anyone who says that Iceland is as good quality-wise as a Waitrose or M&S is simply talking keek or has absolutely no capacity to assess foodstuffs.

    • 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
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
