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

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
