Not Lordship Lane, but a shortish walk from it, the little supermarket type shop in Bellenden Road on the left as you head towards Peckham has a great range of really fresh fruit, veg and herbs outside, at very reasonable prices.


I got a load there after I had stocked up at Gather (cooking a load of stuff to freeze).

Hoots mon you need more sleep


Although a hybrid of both could work, maybe called "stuff it up your spooran" or something equally mad by playing on words


Will they sell bagpipes as well as kilts .. I could see a whole new musical trend for the lovely little darlings of Dulwich College there...

Well about ten minutes' walk, I'd have said, from the Goose Green end of Lordship Lane. That's shortish.


I don't understand the rest of your post. I'm not trying to drum up trade for the shop because they need more people to go there. I'm suggesting they have a great selection of good quality and reasonably priced fruit and veg, or at least they have had whenever I go past.


I bought a load there last week.

Basically, If I'm out buying Vegetables.. Potatoes, Onions , and other Veg. along with anything

else i need to buy, I do not want to Lug them all the way from Bellenden Road.


Shopping in Sainsbury's The P13 stops outside and stops less that 200 yards from my house.

180 steps in fact..


I do now have a shopping trolley which holds more than I can carry in shopping bags.

Therefore a good Greengrocer on Lordship Lane would be greatly appreciated.

I brought all my stuff back in a shopping trolley. Yes it was quite heavy but that was mainly with stuff from Gather in my own glass jars.


But I grow my own potatoes etc so less to buy and less to carry.


All good exercise, whatever!



As regards Lordship Lane, it would be very boring if it sold everything. There wouldn't be much reason to go to different places then!

I know I?m just messing. I just got back from Madrid. I love popping into a bar for a pint and a bit of tapas. Got tapas on the brain. Will try Maria?s Tortilla soon. 💃🏽

Where in East Dulwich is there space to open such a store.


Perhaps a Very Liddle Lidl..

I know Sue, but imagine when Burns night came along and you could nip out to your local kilt shop, so avoiding a trip to Scotland.


Plus you could pick up a stuffed badger or stoat while you were at it.

Really Seabag, you do stretch the realms of possibility here, Badgers, Weasels and Stoats aren't a native Dulwich species


Stuffed Dulwich Foxes , Squirrels and Unicorns yes, but the rest are simply from your imagination 🤔

Crikey, that's a very convincing argument, you've got me thinking now :))


Maybe you could start a petition?

Bloody hell, I thought you were joking, but ....


https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/lidl-southwark-bermondsey-peckham-locations/


I used to trek down to the Lidl in Peckham, but it got too much like a trip to Ikea. Too many impulse buys because things are so cheap.


I still have cornichons in honey (why?!) in my cupboard from a Lidl visit several years ago :))

No it doesn't, It far too small.

American Diners are huge manic places with waiters flying around the place,

I don't think this is necessarily so - American Diners are most marked by (a) having counter service with long counters and table service (b) opening at breakfast (served American style) and continuing to serve throughout the day into the evening © serving both full meals and snacks (such as coffee and pie). Look at the diners in e.g. Pulp Fiction or Goodfellas, (without the gunfire!) - or Twin Peaks - or almost any American film - no manic waiters rushing around (although there is waitress service) - you are I think confusing the large scale burger bars and taco joints like Planet Hollywood with the traditional Edward Hopper diner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nighthawks_(painting)#/media/File:Nighthawks_by_Edward_Hopper_1942.jpg

I was really talking about the food offering which is I seem to remember is burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, nachos, shakes, etc.


Clearly it doesn't have that American diner vibe and aesthetic, but it's hard to do that without becoming some sort of tacky pastiche.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Rockets · Posted

      But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.

      Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.

      Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening

      So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
