That?s not true. The offering available in Londis included lottery, National/international/magazine selection, and 24/7 access to food/alcohol/tobacco products way more diverse than anything else within a mile of ED.


Louisa.

If people really wanted Londis, they would have shopped there. Instead they use M&S, the Co-Op, the corner shop on East Dulwich Grove which is open 24/7, Organic Village or even Sainsbury's which is open until midnight six days a week.


I think some people have been so used to that shop being a 24/7 shop there for at least 35 years that now it's a daytime shop, they can't get their heads round it.

I thought Forest Hill was cheaper than the ED one but then assumed I was imagining it!

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
