Interflora or <insert as appropriate> ?


Recommended Posts

Here's what I have done instead of paying the extra money for Interflora. I can't afford flowers much but on special occasion I thought I would do this.

Google to find the nearest flower shop to the person you want to receive them.

(Google Earth to see if they look like a nice shop if necessary!)

Phone the shop and ask for a delivery and pay them straight into their bank account.

It's worked for me!

Definitely this!

Seasonal flowers, either as a bouquet or a box of cut flowers (not as pretty when they , but a small box has lots of flowers). Long lasting and fresh.


Grown in England, so fewer flower miles. And excellent customer services (when I messed up the order first time round).

I go with the PR plan - find someone local to the receiver. Essentially your local Interflora florist just sends the order to them anyway and takes what? 15-20%? Remove them from the equation and it can go into the actual flowers. I've done this for orders both UK and internationally.


Given how easy that is to do these days I'd say Interflora's day's are numbered..

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
