Hi


Sorry, wasn't sure exactly where to put this. I was just wondering whether any of you very well-informed people on this forum could shed light on exactly which zone I live in? I am on Heber Road, so between ED (zone 2) and Forest Hill (zone 3, I think). I'm not sure if it matters so much if you travel by bus though...


Sorry - even I am embarrassed by the unexcitingness of this post :-$




Thanks!

Before the flat rate bus fares (one price regardless of number if stops travelled), zones made a difference on buses since your fare was based on zones travelled. Now so long as you have any Travelcard with a bus component, you can get on any bus.


The quote above says you can use buses in ALL zones but only trams if you have other zones.


I live in zone 3 but since I only catch trains in 1/2, I can just buy the z1/2 travelcard. When I first lived there, it was a z1-3 pass

Yup... you've paid for the bus fare so its irrelevant how far you travel on it. I've used mine out in zone 6/7 without any hassle

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
