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.

@Straferjack Maybe they saw me coming! Sainsburys FTW.

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!

    • @Hen123 I will repeat my answer as you seem to be having a few difficulties comprehending it (maybe the flashes from all those special cameras has blinded you 😉 )  Quote  My simple answer, as I stated before is that everyone should obey the rules, as to how that's enforced is not my area of expertise  Maybe it's yours @Hen123 in which case you tell us how you would make sure everyone obeys the rules to make everyone safe, including cyclists and drivers!  Unquote  You will note that I haven't said car drivers are above the law or nor can I.provide a simple solution. Now back to the question at hand, why do you think cyclists should be above the law, surly one set of rules for all is the best policy or are cyclists special in your eyes ?  If you avoid answering the question again, then it's a simple conclusion that you don't agree.  Avoidance is not an answer 😐 
    • If you stand by one of those speed monitoring cameras for a while you’ll see the same thing. 90% over the limit. Southwark has speed monitoring stations all around and you can see consistent data there. The *average* car speed in 20 zones is 26 miles an hour. So I will ask again what do you think should be about car drivers widespread and persistent breaking of the law? And why do they think they are above the law?
