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.

      Foxes, and how to get rid

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      You can buy devices for fixed that spray water when a remote sensor is triggered.  Next door use successfully - we used to have but I was the one that mostly got wet and I now enjoy our foxes - agree we should protect our precious wildlife.

      Introducing Albus tha Albino Squirrel …

      By Kritina · Posted

      Fantastic news. We have a beautiful albino squirrel living in Crebor Street and I’m hoping that local cat owners could put bells ion their cat’s collars as Albus, yes I’ve named him, maybe be partially sighted or blind. He’s a very special wee fella and is loving life here and I hope as a community we can give him the best chance of survival and do all we can to keep him safe and well.    For Albus updates, you can check out my account on Instagram…@TravelswithTiaTina x

      Royal Mail and Post Services

      Will we notice any difference compared to now ? In the dim days before electricity light our street lights, the idea of two classes of mail meant that 1st class was delivered in the morning and 2nd class later in the day (yes two postal rounds per day)  But now, with modern technology and other "efficiency" changes we get one or less rounds a day and 2nd class is now within 3 days. Somehow I feel the death throes of a ine great postal service
