Somerfield closed. Wha' happen' ? (Lounged)

[brightsue]

Just been past Somerfield ( mid morning, Monday) and there are notices saying that due to unforseen circs they are closed until further notice. Anybody know why?

[AcedOut]

Any co-op signs around!?

Odd, I was in there this morning around 10ish and everything seemed normal - they have had bother in the past with flooding/leaks - could be that I suppose........

And they've had problems with their freezers as well.......

A band of protesting yummies have climbed onto the roof with placards demanding that M&S buy this store, I understand two senior figures from M&S hq have been requested by the met to help calm the situation down and are on route to ED as I type.

I'd love to see more posts like this from Louisa - made me chuckle anyway

I went in about 8:30 and a bucket on the floor by the first till, was catching drips from above.

Maybe the health and safety crew closed them down, for fear of someone drowning;-)

I thought for a minute they'd found a whistler and/or tramp in a freezer compartment. Is Iceland still trading today!?

Bugger, I was hoping to get something cheap for my tea an' all.

Not a terribly credible explanation.....they'd not be doing any climbing, not in those shoes. They'd get the nannies to do it.B)

Talking of the roof of Somerfield (or it could be Iceland - I'm not quite awake yet) - what's with the serious looking equipment? Is it the ED branch of GCHQ?

Excellent post. But surely we can come up with a better collective noun?

[Ant]

A lunch of yummies?

[AcedOut]

I heard there was UFO activity in the area recently. Perhaps the aliens have landed.

[mightyroar]

collective yummies............

a brunch

a smorgasbord

a finger buffet (less than 5)

a banquet (more than 20)

[Asset]

surely it's 'fewer' than 5 mighty

[Moos]

I was thinking something like a push of yummies - covers attitude and function!

[Ant]

Surely real yummies are too posh to push?

Hi,

I have been in the store on the last two evenings, they were selling reduced chilled food from a trolley that is not chilled, this contravenes the health and hygeine act. I have spoken to the management and the head office in Bristol on many occasions about this problem and the educating of current staff, yet this still goes on, Perhaps it is time for the store to close before we have a epidemic in East Dulwich.

Regards,

Libra Carr.

Closing the store? You mean for good? Is that not going a bit too far?

Yes better training or better management no? ;-)
