JRK Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's just a painting I did and thought locals might enjoy it, I am no way affiliated with William Rose though I do love their sausages. Their queue always amazes me and it's especially long and winding at the moment. The cheese block would be a great one to do too!

siousxiesue Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The queue needs to be directed into the side street, wouldn't that aid distancing?Love the card!

granadaland Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I was queueing for William Rose last Saturday for a well needed sausage sandwich.A couple walked past and the girl said "Is this what middle class people do on a Saturday Queue at the butchers?"Made me laugh...

womanofdulwich Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 First time William Rose opened, it was mainly men queueing on a Saturday, I thought it was a new mens shop!

DulwichFox Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 On the subject of Queueing .. I was born in the early 50's .. There were no supermarkets.. Before going to school at 5 y/o I went shopping with my Mum every morning. We went to the Butchers and Queued. We went to the Bakers and Queued. We went to the Greengrocers and Queued. The Grocery store was an other thing. Tea.. Sugar.. Flour were all loose and all had to be weighed. Even Biscuits were loose in boxes on the floor that were selected and weighed. Broken Biscuits could be bought at a reduced price. Then a trip to the paper shop.. and others.. Daily shopping took hours.. ( Rationing ended in July 1954. Before that some things were still in short supply. ) I have absolutely no desire to go back to the days of endless Queueing Especially for seemingly overpriced goods. However good they may be. Life is simply too short. and at my time of life is getting shorter. :) Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/271569-william-rose-butchers-queue-is-getting-ridiculously-long-again/#findComment-1473273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringTime Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 There are other good butchers - maybe better ones. Flock and Herd, and The Butchery in SE23.

malumbu Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 You probably need a low pedestrian neighbourhood, with pavement restrictions etc, to deter people using WR. This may also encourage those within walking distance to use Libretto although there are queues there on a Saturday (you can admire his cars though and the nicnacs in his window). Maybe Wood Vale will be the next place to be, although we have lost our pub, garage, sub post office/newsagents/penny sweets and hair dressers.

Thats what I miss this year. for instance crofton park-> proud sow (crofton park) -> beer dispensary/brockley jack (just a quick pick out from the map). Does nobody pick out shopping based on the nearby pub or is it me :)Not so much in the Covid days though.

JRK Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'm so used to planning days out around pubs, it's been hammered into my brain since a child, my dad should do a map of England based on pubs and brewery's. To be honest it's probably why I decided to paint all of the East Dulwich ones! So looking forward to feeling properly relaxed in them again, or anywhere for that matter.

jazzer Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I like to get to know my butcher so they know the type of things they sell which I like and appreciate, who butcher on site and know their meat, are happy to offer advice and suggest alternatives, provides good service, who treat me as an individual and not just another body through the door and can offer reasonable prices. In return I go to my butcher every week and am never disappointed in the service I get from them.

Penguin68 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The others you mention are all quite inaccessible from East Dulwich due to lack of parkingThere are no parking restrictions in Wood Vale, Underhill or (normally, when half the road isn't being used for waste by Thames Water) Langton Rise, so Libretto's (K&J Libretto & daughters, In Wood Vale) is very accessible, although I know he has closed his Christmas order book to new customers now.
