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.

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 :(

      Aroma Lab

      By apocalypsedreams · Posted

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Sue · Posted

      So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
