Soya milk - shudder..........

Soya milk is quite a bit more expensive than cows milk - Alpro's about ?1.30 a litre compared to 0.80 or so for whole milk. I assume that's why lots of places charge a bit more for a soya coffee, and seems fair enough to me. Completely with you on the need for places to know how to make a soya based coffee drink though. It's easy enough not to scald the milk and avoid it curdling.

Good to know, thanks - although not sure if Spangles would consider that a decent brand - she mentioned Alpro in her other thread, which is what made me think of it. Is the Sainsbury's basic milk sweetened do you know?

I havenever tasted said Sainsbury's soya milk so cannot comment on whether it would constitute a 'decent brand'. However, I did buy Sommerfield's soya milk recently - it was on offer at about 60p a carton. It was actually OK in my coffee and cereal, although rather 'thinner' than the Alpro brand I usually buy.


I don't know why some people turn up their noses at the prospect of drinking soya milk. Personally I find it rather odd that people drink cow milk which is surely designed to nurture calves?

Moobies (male boobs) are a definite turn off 'tis true. Being a rather flat chested female though, I can confirm that drinking oodles of soya milk, scoffing tons of soya yoghurt and devouring soya spreads on my organic, yeast free spelt bread, has not remotely increased my bust size. :(

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
