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 :(

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
