Franklins over-priced vegetable shop is SE22's "I Saw You Coming" off of Harry and Paul


Recommended Posts

After being quoted ?5.50 for two wilting, wrinkled old peppers and told "they cost an arm and a leg" at Franklins food store on Lordship Lane this weekend, I've come to realise that Franklins food shop is basically SE22's "I Saw You Coming" off of Harry and Paul. Discuss.

They charge 55p for their peppers at Franklins farm shop so I'm not sure what was happening with you - but something obviously went wrong as opposed to your suggestion


Sainsburys charge 1.75 for their pack of 3 mixed peppers by comparison

@Straferjack Maybe they saw me coming! Sainsburys FTW.

Funny you should mention that shop. I was in Kew Gardens at the weekend. This Lady was saying how she bought some furniture for ?1000. But the shop keeper gave her a certificate saying it was worth ?1800 ! She was chuffed!

Jimbo1964,


I've bought several lots of apples from the boxes outside and they've always turned out to be pulpy and tasteless inside. One day I asked for some mushrooms - did'nt get to choose them myself and ended up with a bag full that must have dried out a few days ago - inedible. Also paid a lot for an organic celeriac from France once - inedible too. Nice looking shop though and friendly staff.


Cheers and Bon Appetit!

Lol @the-e-dealer. I would've given him ?3000 obv!

    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around 
    • Like everyone, super impressed with Leon. Came when he said he would. Gave great advice. Job done really quickly and efficiently. Perfect. Highly recommend
