Poundland local seems to have a good supply of biscuits, crisps, fizzy drinks and cakes. It’s so nice to have somewhere to go to get the basics without worrying about taking out a second mortgage.


Bring it on.

Nice Healthy balanced diet there Lou 🤔😀

There is absolutely no point in second guessing the market...

...about what?


"The market" produces a lot of toss. It will produce whatever is good for capitalism. It won't necessarily produce what's good for people.

If I see anyone creeping in and out of the new Poundland with a Waitrose bag, I will be having words. No excuse for that level of snobbery.


In fact I’ll go one better, before the usual suspects accuse me of all sorts of unfounded ridiculousness. I will supply alternative bag for life options if and when I see said folk bagging their goods in Waitrose branded bags!

You’ll be pleased to see this has made it into the paper of record:

 

This Times column about Poundland made me realise how downmarket Dulwich has gone in recent years. I mean, there used to be a time you could go down Lordship Lane without worrying you'd bump into one of Murdoch's vile cabal.

Is this what goes on in your head if you think everyone drives around in Chauffeured Cars ?

who said everyone can you read ? or are you just thick , go back and read it this time YOU MIGHT get it right...

There's more people whinging about people whinging about poundland than there are people actually whinging about poundland.

 

If I had a pound for every person whinging ....I could afford to shop in Harrods 😅

 

Spartacus you mean you don't already.......come on

Note that they went for the Local format here instead of the standard Poundland store where it's more likely ED's well heeled customer base won't stick their nose up at discounted sandwiches and milk rather than buying some of the other products they sell in Peckham and Camberwell.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
