In short: M&S is coming, and Iceland is on a month-to-month rolling contract, I expect M&S within 12 months.


From my understanding:


Iceland lease coming up for renewal. M&S put in a pitch for taking it over but invest little in this pitch.


Pitch rejected for technical reasons (conversion of offices above into flats or somesuch).


New pitch being deliberated by Southwark as this is being typed. No idea of timescales.


This could be completely wrong and this may be the start of another 10 mile trhead...

I'd guess a large number of the particpants and readers are just in it for sh*ts and giggles.


Others like near neighbours are directly affected.


A few like or loathe M&S for what it is percieved to stand for.


But most probably have a genuine interest in which supermarket is on their high street, and their interest in the EDF is limited to these sorts of issues (i.e. they don't log in to debate the meaning of life, just to find out what's going on in their 'hood).


In short they've got a life, but outside the EDF.

pff, having read the other thread, it appears that when M&S displace Iceland the local population will halve within a week as financially challenged individuals starve to death, withering away under the misapprehension that there is no-where else within ED to purchase affordable food.

It seems that the standard way to put someone down with whom you disagree or who has shown an interest in something in which you aren't interested is to adopt the massive overused put down "Get a life" - this suggests that you have a more interesting life than a person whom you consider to be a poor sad barsteward and that somehow you are morally superior to him/her.


To which I say "If the thread is so boring, why are you wasting time reading it?" - or "How about not reading the thread and spending the day spending your valuable time doing else more productive?"


In short DF, many people *are* interested in the M&S saga. You aren't being forced to contribute to this discussion.

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
