East Dulwich should adopt the Indian Restaurant Local Delivery Policy.. of 3 mile Radius.


That would mean that M&S on the Walworth Road would technically be in the East Dulwich Local Area.

Very true. Can understand a Waitrose possibly making a more dramatic impact.

Is this true James? it seems to have been contradicted sightly by subsequent posts.

eg:

"Entirely up to the freeholder - But I'd expect them to make a quick decision OR extend Iceland lease beyond January"



So Iceland are not definitely out of the equation?




Edited to add a question mark...

Brilliant documentary about Iceland on BBC2 last night. Despite a lot of the snobbery aimed at them, they are very strict on where their food is sourced from and what goes into each product, as well as being good value for money. They also do quite a lot of positive things for their staff as anyone who watched last nights documentary will have noticed. I'm now thinking maybe we should do more to support them staying on LL by shopping there more regularly, rather than opting for the unknown.


Louisa.

Tried and trusted formula MM. Bejams/Iceland have been on LL for nearly 30 years, and I've always loved them. They serve a large proportion of the local population and if we all supported them it would guarantee we don't end up with an empty retail spot on the high street, something none of us want. The M&S/Waitrose thing has gone on too long, let's just forget about them.


Louisa.

If this thread makes 50 pages, Admin should seriously consider shutting down the forum.


I'm not a massive Louisa fan by any means, but I couldnt have put it better:


"The M&S/Waitrose thing has gone on too long, let's just forget about them."


Almost beer o'clock.

I can't be bothered to scroll through all the posts, but there is a chap that always gives rather long, wordy and (if I may say so) slightly pompous posts. Just one post from him should take us over the ghastly 49 page plateau.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
