I went into the Somerfield on Lordship Lane on Tuesday to find some builders having a tea party! They were taking part in an event Somerfield were having ? they all looked very funny sipping tea and eating girly cherry bakewells ? not their usual bacon butties! Not many of them could tell the difference between Tetley tea and Somerfield?s own red label tea or Heinz baked beans and Somerfield?s own brand baked beans ? I thought that was a bit strange based on the difference in price as Somerfield?s own products are a lot cheaper than other brands! Did anyone else witness this hilarious spectacle? Good on Somerfield for letting the beefcakes take part ? it brightened up my day!

I love it when normal, hum-drum experiences take a weird turn


I was in Finsbury Square near Moorgate one summer's lunchtime with hundreds of other people when 3 page3 types started wandering by, actually topless, for some promotional thing...


And welcome to the forum bbrown - don't forget to say


hello

I did that once on the promenade in Torquay for a bet and no one batted an eyelid then either.

I wonder if the builders tea party had anything to do with Somerfield's sponsorship of Macmillan Cancer Support. Bit early for World's Biggest Coffee Morning but sounds like something they may do. Somerfields have just supported Macmillan to the tune of ?1 million. Great for people affected by cancer!

    • Maggie Browning usually very good responding to emails. Roving surgeries - we got a letter some time ago that they were in Barry Road between certain times - but neither neighbours of ourselves saw them. Face to face surgeries rarely held now due to violent attacks on MPS and Councillors.
    • Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.
