Not sure if this is old news as I've been away for 3 weeks but Nisha informed me last night that she is having to leave her business and ED/London as it is no longer viable since Sainsbury's opened.


The store will be taken over by some Sri Lankan friends of hers on Thursday.


Very sad news as she was adamant she wouldn't be closing down or leaving the area.

I popped in there a few weeks ago for the first time in ages since I moved away from there and it was noticeably quieter at a time when I expected it to be busy


Shame - they were great shopkeepers and always went out of their way to help me if they didn't have something in stock. Best of luck to them

I know we are so, so sad - she is just the loveliest woman - so friendly and helpful. She always gave my daughter a bit of fruit whenever we went in and remembered her name. Do you know when she is actually going - we want to give her a card or something?

Oh this is sad news - its such a shame especially as I know how hard she has been trying to keep the business going. I always bypass Sainsburys Local and go to Nisha for fresh fruit and vegetables - it's so much better and you get such a friendly service. Really very sad to see her go. All the best Nisha to you and your family!


I will continue to support the local independent shops though so good luck to the new owners and I will be popping in soon!

When I spoke with her about 2/3 weeks ago she was remaining in the area as children were doing their A levels and she did not want to change schools.

She also asked if I knew anyone who could give her a few hours work i. e child minding, checking in on an older person.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
