William Rose Butchers queue is getting ridiculously long again

[malumbu]

Posted before on this thread but they need to introduce Low Pedestrian Neighbourhoods in this part of LL. Perhaps some planters forcing people to the other side of the road. Obviously winners and losers if this was done and no doubt those who don't usually use the other side of the street will be peed off on pedestrian displacement.

have just re-read your first post on this thread:

Are you are seriously suggesting that LTN's should be used to deter customers from patronising local business? There is quite a lot of this chat on Twitter at the min, whereby certain pro factions are aggressively targeting local traders. IMHO this is not constructive nor a good look!

[Rockets]

Still long lines running up Bassano Street at lunchtime. In fact most of Lordship Lane is a long line for various shops. Glad to see many are still trying to support their local traders - they need all the help they can get right now.

Travelling along LL, very, very long queues outside M&S, W Rose butcher (right down the next side street by the gym, Cheese Block, Moxons and the Franklins also v.long queues. Good luck and have lots of patience

[Bic Basher]

I also saw long queues for William Rose going down Bassano Street at 1pm. Also queues for Moxons and the other shops mentioned above

Jones of Brockley also had a queue outside.

Madness.. There will be so much waste after Christmas..

Every year in the UK, approximately 7 million tonnes of food is wasted.

Just during the Christmas, 2 million turkeys, 5 million Christmas puddings, and 74 million mince pie get disposed

while still edible, causing almost 270,000 tons of food waste in total during this widely celebrated holiday.

It's a disgrace..

DulwichFox agreed.

Madness.

Add to that the present-buying frenzy, wrapping, cards...

And THIS is during a pandemic 🤣

Is this because people buy them and don't eat them, or because the shops get too much food in?

If the latter, why isn't the surplus given to food banks or the homeless (well, probably not raw turkey to the homeless)?

Very long queue at the butchers on Evelina rd this morning.

[malumbu]

Best is we started doing what our parents, grand parents and great grandparents did in WWII and keep chickens and rabbits that we could then slaughter ourselves. Obviously if you have a yard. Or better still we all had grazing rights eg using Goose Green for our goats and sheep. That would elevate SE22 well above other similar areas of London.

[Sally Eva]

Come across to Smiths in Nunhead and visit Sopers and our various delis and greengrocer at the same time.

[malumbu]

Can you graze animals on Nunhead Green Sally?
