M y niece - who works for Waitrose, assures me that East Dulwich is a target area. At one stage she alleges they briefly considered taking over the Morrisons in Peckham but decided it was too far from their client market. Not sure I believe the MOrrisons one - but them keeping an eye on ED seems logical - and Somerfields would be a good site.

So Somerfield are closing, that explains a lot. Like why the attitude of nearly everyone who works there is so piss-poor or the fact that they only have one of those 'next customer please' partition signs between 3 tills or the fact that its so dingy in there you need to take your own light source with you in able to distinguish between the tinned beans and the tinned spaghetti...etc. Grumble.

basically because it is too gentrified and upmarket round here, surely you can see that? More likely Waitrose or M&S would buy it from co-op. Co-op for all its cooperative credentials struggles to give an impression of good quality. Look at the thread about the one on Forest Hill Road.

V.True - some of the more recently done out co-ops are really nice, all fresh fruit'n'veg and fairtrade all over the place. I think they're re-marketing themselves, and it's a decent result so far. But I'm not sure about the franchise situation - if they are franchises, starting up on LL takes somes stones and a butt-load of start up capital.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
