I have always found the staff at EDD to be courteous and helpful. I take an interest in food and usually discuss the goods with the staff - there and at the other food retailers - where again I usually find pleasant and courteous responses - SMBS, Pretty Vintage, Cheese Block, W Rose, Moxons, Blackbird Bakery etc.


I know from experience that some customers (not, I'm sure EDF readers and posters) can be truly "up themselves" and unreasonably demanding - or just plain unreasonable - leading to less than perfect service from retailers. The lady in EDD who allowed her children to pick out olives by hand from the bowls in the chiller, eat the olives and either throw the pips back in the bowl or on the floor is an example.

That's what I thought too.


Haven't been to the Harrods branch of EDD and rarely go to the ED one but on the few occasions I have, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Even suggested I try the dulwich supermarket across the road, SMBS or Franklins shop for what I was looking for*

    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
