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!

    • From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents  I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.
    • At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme  had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.
    • Personally, I think the death sentance should be brought back for anyone found to be harming animals. 
    • When you dig into the site, there's an ancillary domain also involved in the system: neighbourhoodalert.co.uk;  and one pointed to by the latter as an example, stayintheknow.co.uk, which seems to have been set up by Lancashire.  All three long validated by Nominet and with same registrar.    metengage_etc_whois.txt
