Why does the Co-op never have any food on the shelves?

Ask which aisle washing powder is in and all will be revealed... if you don't quite catch what's said, nip into chener books and get the bangladeshi to english 'phrase' guide...

Don't be so ridiculous.


I've never had the slightest problem understanding any of the staff in the Co-op, and it seems like you're just being - well, let's say unpleasant.

I mentioned in an earlier post Milk being 55p whist it is 48p in most of the other major Supermarkets.


The Co-op in Downham near Bromley charges 48p for Milk, so it seems prices are higher in East Dulwich.


There is Nothing special about East Dulwich. that justifies a 14.6% hike in price.

It's now possible to buy skimmed organic milk after 7pm in the L Lane Co-op.

And the staff are as lovely and helpful as ever.

The staff in the Brockley one are extra special helpful, have seen them run after a fraught mother who'd left a bag of shopping and also stay open after hours to help an older gent who needed to top up his electricity key meter.

Never a company to miss an opportunistic bandwagon, like those other paragons of virtue and decency at Ford, Mitsubishi, Vauxhall and Lloyds Bank. Makes me want to go and buy their permanently-limp broccoli just to be public spirited.

No, don't do it, maxxi. After all, there is enough limp broccoli in East Dulwich without releasing more into the wild. And anyway, you'd then have to bank at Lloyds and drive a Ford Bandwagon to show your allegiance to those other highly ethical companies...

If Ford do the Bandwagon in Smugbastard Magenta I could be tempted...

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Alec1 · Posted

      I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?

      Leon came this evening and did a small job.  He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for.  He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices.  Highly recommend Leon! 👍
