Does ED need an M&S? Say yes.....!

[Frankito]

Guys, I thunk it is high time we had an M&S in our midst. I am sick of having to travel by non- eco-friendly car every time I want some decent food products. Has anyone heard if there are any plans afoot? help...

[srisky]

This may be controversial but I don't think M&S food is that nice. The biscuits and cakes are yummy but I could do with those not being within the area! The savoury food is not worth the price you pay.

[Frankito]

Gosh, tgat is controversial indeed... I am not a fan of processed food and don't tend to buy their ready-mademeals unless they look particularly fresh and rustic. However it's akl the little bits I need... And their wines are very good and competitively priced...

[Applespider]

I'm not a big M&S fan either. I just don't think they have the range of ingredients to cook with and what they do have is expensive (particularly in Simply Food where they add a premium). Ready-meal/ready-veg fans will probably give you a 'yes' vote. Personally, if we're angling for (or arguing yet again about)a more expensive food shop, I'd rather have Waitrose. I can think of a lot more things I buy in Waitrose that I can't buy in M&S than the other way around.

I lived very close to the M&S in Brixton for a couple of years and found myself going further afield to Tesco and for fresher and better produce (expensively packaged 'airline' meals apart).

God is weeping as he reads this thread.and so is Jesus.

[Frankito]

Waitrose... Yes please...

[DJKillaQueen]

We don't need either an M&S or Wiatrose. Some make like those to be local but need? no.

The M&S in Brixton is near enough to go to after all.

[Miacis]

er, no, but could do with somewhere other than sainsburys to buy undies/children's clothes at reasonable price without having to travel

[Moos]

Really? Again?

[DJKillaQueen]

lol Moos, I know. Rye lane has Primark Miacis.

[Curmudgeon]

No

try Ocado

[????]

This is an original idea and one I've not come accross before so I am going to have to give it some thought before I respond.

I'm not sure the majority of east dulwich could fit into a single M&S or waitrose on a typical saturday. you'd need about 2 or 3 at least

[PeckhamRose]

The nearest must be on the Old Kent Road.

And if THEY can have one...

I'm still wanting (not yet needing) a White Company, though.

[womanofdulwich]

do you mean the Walworth rdbranch Peckham rose, or am I missing out?

Gosh, Frankito, how far do you have to travel by 'non-eco-friendly car' every time you want some 'decent food products'?

How awful is that? If only someone would post details (ASAP) of imminent plans for an M&S in ED!!

(Pssst....next time, remember Fortnum & Mason, its not quite as 'tired' as the M&S Waitrose theme on here)

Only clicked onto this thread because I spied that Lady Katharina van der Wotsit was back in town.

*tings bike bell at Lady Kat*

[katie1997]

Yes. Sorry about that. There's only so much you can carry in your Cath Kidston 'Spring fever' lined wicker basket.

*tings bike bell back at Laddy*

[Laddy Muck]

ha ha ha

ahem...Lady Kat, There's only so much one can carry in one's Cath Kidston 'Spring fever' lined wicker basket.

One can tell that you have been out of ED for a while!

Lovely to have you back.

I say get rid of Iceland...............and maybe the Faroes

[PeckhamRose]

There is a petrol station on the Old Kent Road with an M&S Food store attached, just west of the Bricklayers Arms floyover. That's the one I was referring to, not sure if the one on Walworth Road is closer or what.

[Cassius]

And their wines are very good and competitively priced...

Surely not.

[Karlene]

Waitrose please. Definitely.
