Hey Louisa

Do they trim their bushes in Norfolk?

Miss your posts.

A well trimmed bush equates to a slightly more salubrious neighborhood, it has to be said. Mine is in good order.

Do you have a local Iceland?

Cromer does have an Iceland store, which I frequent. Along with a Morrisons, and a whole host of independent shops.  It also has some of the freshest, tastiest seafood you’ll ever come across. I recommend everyone pays a visit this summer!

Having said I wasn't going to get drawn in, I strongly object to  being called a troll by the most notorious troll there has ever been on here since the forum started.

Louisa, please  provide evidence that I've edited posts "to try and change the narrative away from my conspicuous trolling".

And while you are doing that, you can also provide evidence of my "trolling".

You won't be able to do either of those things, but you have achieved what I'm sure was your aim  of greatly annoying me.

So congratulations.

Now  please just  STFU and go back to Norfolk.

I beg your pardon? 

Moi? A troll? You can take that back for starters!

Mind you, someone who is trolling (Sue) usually likes to deflect the emphasise away from themselves, so your response makes perfect sense 🤨

Have you actually read my posts?! 

I didn't say I'd "rather it closed because it doesn't provide for my needs"!

I would say FFS, but admin might object. Oh. I did. Sorry admin.

Many shops round here and elsewhere don't "provide for my needs", but I don't think they should be closed down!!!

As I thought I had already clearly said, my comment on its closure was in the context of things like  Cancerian's original post re the lack of staff on the tills and their five minute wait to be served.

Cancerian also said that the self service checkouts were not in use.

Just because you have not experienced those things doesn't mean they didn't/don't happen!

And yes, re the small sizes. That's my point. That's why (some of?) the prices are cheaper, but it doesn't mean you are getting some kind of bargain.

Yes I have read your posts otherwise I wouldn't be replying. You said it doesn't sell stuff that you want and that you hope it closes down. Two separate  sentences. I'm not Imply that you want it closed because it doesn't provide for your needs.

So the occasional lack of staff on tills and having to wait ( another posters observation) is reason enough to want it gone? 

You can self serve most of the time.

FFS? Now now.

Just gone back a few posts as  I wasn't sure why old faces were being discussed and one reappeared.

I recall some pretty toxic discussions on Brexit with some of the aforementioned names being rather involved.  Not sure if we want to go back there.  Of course none of this relevant to Poundland apart from the damage it has led to our economy and pocket.

Did buy some samphire sold on the side of the road in Norfolk, not sure whether you can get this in LL

Certainly not Poundland

Sainsbury's in Dog Kennel Hill normally stocks it and has done for years. As does Sopers in Nunhead.

Popped in there earlier today and picked up Doritos advertised as 2 packs for £3.20 At the checkout the cashier insisted it was £2 each. Spoke to the Manager who insisted all the crisps and snacks pricing were wrong and the offers were finished!!! 
Just paid for my fabric softener and left the shop. 
They shouldn’t be allowed to do that! 

The supermarkets are all guilty of this. The price on the shelf is often NOT what you pay when you get to the tills. That includes clubcard, membership and nectar card offers, EVEN when the offer is before the date of expiry and clearly displayed.

The staff play ignorance. Never used to be like this, remember when managers used to roam the store in a suit chatting to customers and the customer was always right? Those days are long gone.

Went to Poundland yesterday, purchased several items, Special offer of toothpaste £1 for 100ml. Assistant very friendly and helpful - an elderly lady with a trolley and on crutches was told to take her time putting shopping away as the assistant opened up another till for customers in the queue. I was also asked if I needed any help (I have a walking stick). There was around 12/15 people shopping whilst I was there. I could have purchased more items but was conscious that with the bus stops by the Library closed, I would not be able to carry more weight.

I had this in B&M the other day. The price ticket said £1 and £1.25 was crossed out. They refused to give me the items at £1 and when I complained to head office, they said it was at the shop’s discretion! Apparently the offer had expired and so the items were scanning at the full price!

I have had this many times at Superdrugs on LL. I find it disorganised and many times I was yelled at 'we are closing in 5 min' when I entered after work on my way home. I don't mind being told that they are closing soon, but not the way they did it. 

I try to avoid it now and go to the store in Peckham which I find fab with bigger selection and prices correctly noted.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
