What does Lordship Lane need?

[Pugwash]

I did a small shop in iceland recently - I had to go to the bank and thought I would pop in to get a few basics- picked up a few special offers for our dinner, some sandwich fillings, and whole bill came to ?8 - very good value and the food was lovely

I too think Iceland is excellent value for basics - cheaper than either Sainsbury's or the Co-Op, and things like free range eggs and frozen peas are no different in quality.

It's not all cheap pizzas and processed food - you can just avoid those.

And the checkout people are lovely.

[Ridgley]

Agreed - but there some people who think they are too good for Iceland and they are the same people that shop there after dark:)

[hellokiran]

we need ramen!

[Otta]

Are there a lot of funeral parlours then? I can only think of the Co-Op.

[antantant]

Brockley is where to go for funeral parlours. Four in 100m.

There's one on the other side of the road from the Co-Op, isn't there?

I think it's the one which always makes me laugh because the angel (I think it is) in the window is so out of proportion it looks as if it's had its legs chopped off. Sorry if in bad taste.

Presumably Brockley has an older population than ED if it's got four :))

ETA: Or else some dodgy restaurants ..... or bad drivers .....

[Otta]

I used to live near a road called Allerton Road in Liverpool. I remember noticing as an 18 year old that there were lots of funeral parlors on that road. I was a bit nervous about my chosen place to live.

[PaulaMcD]

apart from any suggestions about useful shops, places to eat, etc what Lordship Lane need is SENSIBLE PARKING regulations and maybe even a parking lot - for those of us who don't live within walking distance. You can hardly do some shopping and meet a friend for lunch if you only get 30 minutes' parking. It takes that long to post a letter in the post office!

[Lowlander]

Does Lordship Lane not have a good bus and train service (via ED station)? Can you not park in a side street like everyone else?

And if you must drive to the PO and park outside, there's a post office at the top of LL by Sainsburys where you'll never have to queue for more than 5 minutes.

The last time I ventured down into the ex Dreamachine dungeon, there were a couple of blokes mending hi fi and mixing desks, and generally soldering and sticking valves into things.

Mmm, solder. It took me right back.

I think they need our support

Where's that? Sounds like my kinda place...

On Lordship next to the Palmerston, down the steps and mind your head

[KidKruger]

It's called I think MoJo, they're having a look at my turntable at the weekend, friendly dudes.

[Lowlander]

Awesome, found they've been around for three months, will have to pop in and have a look...

[Otta]

Good for them, I had no idea that was there. May go and have a chat, see whether they do amp repairs.

[KidKruger]

Otta I think they do all sorts of repairs. There's also various vintage kit for sale, though I don't know enough to determine if it's good gear or not (I'd assume it is because the guy seesm to know his stuff).

No 'extras', for sale down there these days though.

Except between 1-2pm weekdays when the sub postmistress goes on her lunch break.

We went down a while back and found them quite unfriendly.

Mooched around for a while but nobody seemed to want to smile, let alone engage in conversation :(

Maybe it was obvious we were just curious, and probably not potential customers :(
