Fair point Hels. It is a question that certainly needed asking. Not sure if it is so many posts per page despite their length or whether it depends on how long each individual post is.


hmmmm.....

Dear James, you seemed to have missed this again. To make it easier:

What is it about Waitrose that you have been pushing for it for years? What mandate did/do you have to approach retailers to come to the area? How do you choose which retailers you approach or is it just your personal choice?

I dont find Iceland slumlike in fact it is very clean and very acceptable as a shop.


Please explain why you find it slumlike.


Or is it because you live in a far different world to other people

The mere fact that Kerry Katona was once the Iceland cover girl is enough to keep me away from it forever.......


Oh that and the one fateful "chicken curry" I once bought in there where they clearly disregarded taste and meat when putting it together... Never again! Some students experimented with drugs, I experimented with Iceland Chicken Curry.

"Most" of "us"??


Please speak for yourself rather than on behalf of other people!


I don't want the new guys. I like Iceland for things like six large free-range eggs for a pound, the cheery people at the checkouts, and the welcome escape from pretentiousness.

Hi edhistory,

I'm an elected representative and was asked about such stores. Checked out the feeling via this forum and asked both M&S and Waitrose if they had plans to come. I'd prefer Iceland to stay because clearly many people like it. But they're no longer willing to pay the new market rent on their current site.


Equally I've spoken to three cinema chains about coming to Lordship Lane.


Regenerated the Leisure centre, all street lighting modernised, 20mph, new schools. It's what local politicians should do.

Hi James, from what I've read on this forum it seems that you are doing your best for this community. However, I do hope that when you say you're asking people's views on Iceland, M&S & Waitrose, this forum is not your sole source for canvassing local opinion.

And decent pavements to enhance Lordship Lane's "cafe culture" must surely be next on the list. :)

Are all to be held hostage by car drivers? People needs homes, they also need local food retailers if they are not to drive everywhere.

My only misgiving is the point raised re closing down a low cost food outlet, they do sell fresh and frozen non-prepared food.

By the way, anyone know what is happening with the empty office block next to the swimming pool, it would make an ideal Iceland!

If Iceland closed, we would all miss the opportunity of buying their authentic Deep Pan Doner Kebab Pizzas. Italian food doesn't get much better than that - who needs M&S and Waitrose?

I actually tried one of those pizzas a while ago. The kebab pieces were kind of sausagey, and really tasteless. I eat some right old crap, but wouldn't really recommend that.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Rockets · Posted

      Aren't most marxists radical by default...and he was a self proclaimed marxist on his twitter feed for years but deleted it as I suspect it did not sit well at Labour HQ. The big worry for Labour might be that he takes votes away from them (but not enough for him to win a seat) especially as there may be a significant protest vote against them at the national level as they are making such a pig's ear of things. I suspect though Labour are glad to see the back of him - to say he was a thorn in their side is an understatement and his loss of the leadership of the council was clearly part of the purge Labour has been embarking on to rid itself of some of the far-left lunatic fringe that have blighted them for so long. The Greens of course are willingly take any disaffected far-left Labour rejects in the same way Reform are hovvering up the lunatic elements of the Tories. The fact he went in with both barrels on Labour is hardly surprisingly but wonderfully hypocritical of someone who thought they were about to lead a Labour council. My how politicians flip-flop to suit their own personal agenda. How long before he falls out with the Greens...where to then? Why do I think he had an affiliation with the Greens before he became a Labour councillor? Or did I imagine that?

      It’s a shame that that topic is closed/archived for further replies.  It sounds like a great and helpful business. I’d love to see some of the pictures that had been posted.
