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!

    • Excited to welcome Banook to the neighbourhood. Love a good bagel.
    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
