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

What's that supposed to mean?

On two separate occassions of buying vegetables in the FH Co-op I've found maggots in them. An quite often when buying bags or punnets of fruit the ones hidden at the bottom are mouldy.

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.

Possibly their overheads are higher, eg rent?

Because it's waiting for the lease to be bought by another charity shop on a reduced lease

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.

Twenty new "Little Waitrose" stores to be launched within the M25, says today's Independent. Please, please, please can one of those be in Lordship Lane.

The Co-op group has just announced that it has pulled all its advertising from the News of the World. The only supermarket to do so, it seems.

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.

[goosey-goosey]

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...
