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.

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 .....

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!

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.

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

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 :(

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
