Let's hope that Somerfield teach co-op a thing or two. The Co-op at the top of Peckham Rye Park on Forest Hill Lane is awful, they seem to think that putting their food on the floor rather than the shelves is the way to go. Chicken on the floor when I ventured in there on the way home from work today, and you couldn't say that they keep the place clean and tidy...

As corporate speak goes it strikes me as restrained but also as very sloppy for a key quote on their website. I reckon he needs a new PR person to write his guff for him.

Maybe it was Bejams before it was Sainsburys. I'm sure they called themselves the Sainsbury's Freezer Centre, though they did indeed sell frozen food, not freezers.

Yes, what is now Iceland was definitely a Sainsbury Freezer Centre until.... around 1984? Very similar to Iceland - lots of freezers full of frozen food. Freezer centres were a bit trendy in the 70's and I guess Sainsbury's were adapting to the market in the same way as they are now with their 'Locals'.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
