As if we need more stuff to rot our kids teeth and send them bonkers with additives and food colorings.

It was always very unappealing even when it was the Co-op chemist, in my opinion :(

According to the planning application, the new Superdrug store will also contain a ?The Perfume Shop? counter, which is absolutely brilliant news. Lots of quality fragrances, at knock down prices.




If true, I hope this does not affect Rouiller White's perfume parlour. An independent will never compete with a chain on prices. That said, the hope is there is room for both.

Superdrug sell a range of various top branded perfumes as well as more affordable ones. Including Creed btw. Not sure why you conclude those same brands are somehow not quality just because they happen to be sold by a high street chain? Hope we aren?t back to the old arguments of being seen to buy stuff from a small independent just so people can see you going in there, regardless of the price?


Louisa.

Im not big perfume fan and never been to Roullier White, but have seen their website and it does seem pricy.

I don't know why you are all coming down on Louisa, not everyone can afford such lavish perfumes. Sometimes you may be looking for a ?20 fragrance to give as a gift and Superdrug would be just the place to go for this sort of thing.

Is it the fact that Superdrug is just not gentrified enough for ED that is bothering you all so much ?

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
