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.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
