Interesting reading some of the comments here.


Tell you what, why stop at shutting Iceland, any shop that somebody earning less than ?30k uses must be shut immediately and replaced by a deli, or perhaps a shop selling huge overpriced buggies made out of organic veg.


Come on people, if Iceland didn't make any money, it would shut. As it does, people of all social classes must be using it. Why should people be forced to shop in wall to wall William Rose and Waitrose. I kind of assumed that people who lived in East Dulwich, wouldn't be so right of centre and snobby.


No wonder this forum made it into the Guardian diary for those bonkers comments about a Waitrose during the riots.

Naked Wines are absolute crap.


I thought their wine must be OK as I had a ?50 voucher from Heals (when I bought a very cheap kettle there :)) ), so I assumed Heals had vetted them.


They sell expensive rubbish covered up by a load of flannel about social responsibility etc.. Plus they hook you in via a scheme which seems to be good value but actually isn't.


It's not often I can't force something down, but I had to throw some of their wine away because it was undrinkable.


I keep meaning to complain to Heals, but now all and sundry seem to be giving away their vouchers.


Sorry admin, off topic.

Iceland serves a purpose on the high road as not everyone can afford to buy food from M&S and Waitrose. there are enough over priced food shops on lordship lane now and something a bit more affordable in a recession is needed for those people not propped up on high salaries or banking bonuses!

Specialising in showing low budget gangster movies I hope.............................I look forward to it opening. No keystone cops though please.


I hope they splash a lick of paint on the outside though or festoon the wire protection nets with banners and flags. That would be cool. Maybe Iceland could do the same and lighten the mood of the earnest shoppers.

People who claim to dislike Iceland seem to have an Over-rated Sense of Importance.


It would seem that to them, that shopping there is below them.


Well, they need to get over it.


Unlike some other outlets, Iceland has the survived the Test of Time by providing the kind

of service that many people want.



Fox.

Brushing aside all the 'ghetto' jokes I shop in mostly all the shops in LL including Iceland

Point to note - the staff in Iceland are amazing ! They say hello , thankyou and are actually very pleasant and welcoming .

Some of the staff in the so called 'upmarket' shops on LL would be wise to visit this store and see good customer service ! Go in there and see for yourselves!

I like having Iceland there. The staff there really are lovely - the manager let my son use the staff toilet when he was dying to go the other day, then when they overheard us talking about his birthday gave us a free cake to say happy birthday. I like having at least one shop on Lordship Lane i can get a bit of a bargain, not that I don't appreciate how nice and lovely (but expensive) the other shops are.

Exaggerated sense of importance? In East Dulwich? That's outrageous.

Not to mention eggs. Got 6 large free range eggs there for a quid the other day. Iceland is a much overlooked resource on LL on my part.

I agree with all that. Iceland is very good value for a lot of things - (not the turkey twizzler kind of food that some people seem to assume is all it sells)..


Unfortunately it's often more convenient to do one large shop in one place, eg S********s, even if it turns out more expensive, because they have more of the stuff I need to stock up on regularly.

    • 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
