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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
