The 'law changes' are the very welcome ones that try to stop them from ruining vulnerable people's finances and lives with their fixed odds betting terminals. Good riddance, I say.


If there were to be a Waitrose on either of those sites, surely it would on the 'Little Waitrose' model, though as ed_pete points out, still very handy for having John Lewis stuff delivered locally for free.

No need to wait for Waitrose for that - John Lewis are trialling using the Co-Op for click and collect.

I think they may prefer a Harrods food hall. Waitrose is too middle class for the upper class dwellers of Dulwich Village.

Had a feeling this would be the case. The one on Lordship Lane looks too small for even a 'small' Waitrose.

In the 1980s when my kids were small I used to knit for a designer who supplied Harvey Nicks. They had a 150% mark up on the goods she sold them. One day I decided to calculate my rate of hourly pay....2p an hour, yes, 2p per hour.. and I was by no means a slow knitter.In order to make any money the designer- a young Scots girl who lived in a 2 bedroomed flat in Brixton, had to purchase the wool in such bulk that it filled an entire room.

The Camberwell coop is also doing this now. Exciting times, being 10 mins walk away from a JLP collection point rather than a 20 min bus ride away!

Except I stupidly assumed it would be free. But it isn't :(

Still up to this Louisa? Bit early for Trick or Treat. And surely you must be getting bored? 0.5 / 10

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      🤣 Yes, I can't imagine they'd thank you for that. Sounds like keeping the car is probably the right thing for you.

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Sue · Posted

      That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone, as are my days of happily sleeping in a tent I can't stand up in! I didn't know about this zip car point to point option. Is that to anywhere in the UK? Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered.
