Waitrose...

[katie1997]

...heard rumours that one might be opening in ED. Is this true?

[Otta]

Yes absolutely, no doubt whatsoever.

And the meat counter will stock cat.

[edcam]

Is this about double buggies?

[katie1997]

of course, in the charcaterie section - get your prime quality, organic, hot-smoked over fine oak chips from the New Forest cat.

[katie1997]

there will be a whole double buggy aisle with coffee shop at the end. of course.

[Otta]

Indeed. They are to have especially narrow aisles so as to purposely discriminate against parents and breech their human rights.

[civilservant]

Will there be a special checkout for entitled parents?

[Otta]

Absolutely, plus a sharpening service for middle class elbows.

[edcam]

Waitrose have contacted the forum to say that any mention of them, positive OR negative, will result in immediate action, removing all organic produce from SE22.

[reeko]

Yes Waitrose will open up, respond to all sorts of requests from the local community, win everyone round - even those who cherished Iceland, but three months after opening it will become a morrisons overnight, with no explanation and the Halloween facepainting will be cancelled with no warning

[camberwell70]

please let it be true

[Jeremy]

Yes, please let it be true. I hate facepainting.

The big Tesco on Kennington Lane opened back when Kennington was first tipped to be the next gentrification hotspot. It was supposed to compete with the even bigger Nine Elms Sainsbury's. At first it had a fresh fish counter and real caviar on the shelves. But soon enough reality bit and it's now a bog-standard Tesco with shrink-wrapped fish and tins of cod roe. So they'll probably cancel the face-painting soon enough!

[Laddy Muck]

Any chance they will stock wool?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Greggs sausage rolls do you think?

[katie1997]

all possible shades of the finest alpaca wool, hand-dyed naturally in organic beetroot juice will be stocked. of course.

greggs sausage rolls...that's a new thread altogether!
