Yes, they were giving away vouchers in Lordship Lane to spend in the store. I think they were a fiver.


When we went in, there was somebody - apparently from head office - telling customers what wonderful new things there were to buy.


We couldn't see anything that looked either new or wonderful, so we used our vouchers and left 🤣

considering they all seemed completely happy about it, I would say so :-)"


I hope they are all still getting paid...Used to shop at that co-op and more often do little shops at the Forest Hill rd shop. As I became less mobile and had to use both crutches I always found the staff very helpful and happy to ho the extra mile e.g.at The Lordhop lane shop someone wd take my trolley around the corner and pack it into car boot. Hope ths means that they are happy in thier work as treated well.

I'm completely unsurprised that your biggest takeaway from the new fit out of the shop is there's a wet floor sign. I imagine you were only saying you couldn't wait to for the Co-op to reopen just so you can whinge about it.


The new fit out is very nice. Much more spacious at the front of the shop. The rearrangement of the floor seems to have given them more shelf space as there's products there I haven't seen before.


Good effort overall and nice work done by those who carried out the refitting.

Aren?t you whinging about him whinging....? Oh the irony of it all!

    • Hi, my son is nine and wants to get into playing dungeons and dragons. Does anyone know of a children’s group playing nearby? Neither me or my husband ever played so we’re at a loss as to how to help!
    • Hi, found this thread searching for similar for my 9 year old son. Did you find anything locally? Thanks!
    • A lot of this is down to why the high street came into being in the first place  consumer demand  And now times has changed and consumers behave differently.  And businesses adapt to that.  It’s a bottom up approach as opposed to something imposed upon us.   It’s not to my tastes. But what do people expect to happen.  Jazzer is on to something when he says boycott Amazon - but the reality is even many who boycott Amazon choose other or more ethical alternatives. But still online  going into town for “a shop” just isn’t what people do anymore  Yeah but that’s not a real comparison. And “for ill” glosses over a lot of wrong as well  but we live in 2025 now and any of us oldies who think when we were 20 was the best time ever, a time we should go back to are just pining for our youths  there is no country in the world that can turn back the clock.  So in 2025, where is the closest vision of somewhere you would like.  Because if you look globally you don’t just get capitalism.  You can choose dictatorships or communism too
