Is this the sign that the gentrification of ED is finally complete ?

He's busy, as he's just opened a cat acupuncture centre.


Cats are returned to their owners with hot pokers sticking out of their paws.

Scientist refutes claim that letting your cat sleep in a magnetic bed has side effects...

I'd place good money to suggest the hot poker would not sticking out of their paws, but more likely sticking out of somewhere else.

DM I remember some great posts from you back in the day. How time has flown! Are you satisfied with the level of gentrification that's taken place locally?


JL I have taken advantage of this freebie and I can tell you now I was more concerned with the idea of pushing a trolley around filled with goods whilst juggling a hot drink than I was about the standard of people shopping in store.

Louisa darling, I will not admit to doing my own supermarket shopping on a public forum, otherwise how am I to showcase my staff? The next thing you know I would be expected to collect my own children from school and blow dry my own hair... Actually, I may rethink staff access to my credit cards for the New Year, in case they lose the run of themselves, this last year has been a complete shocker (dabs tear from eye).


I feel that Waitrose should provide cup holders on their trolleys, don't you? The aupair is costing me a fortune in fresh coffee and if she can get her hit for free at the super marche, all the better I say! When will this damn recession ever end (pokes aupair on the head with keys from Audi Q7).


Sweet North Londoner! I have been spending quite a lot if time reflecting over the last year, re-evaluating my relationships. Where is a girl to look for role models? The behaviour of Paul Hollywood has totally destroyed the joy if bread baking for me (OK, vicariously via my house keeper) - what a cad (blows nose loudly), that man deserves a close encounter with my Kitchen Aid dough hook! And now that the scales have fallen from my eyes and I have finally seen Nigella in her true light - KFC? OHMYGOD! I have been so naive (wails and shakes fist at sky)!


When I think of the money I have spent on Manuka honey, kaffir lime leaves and speciality Italian 00 flour...


No doubt Jah Lush will uncover some connection between Iceland's chicken Tikka lasagne and Kate Middleton and then I shall require a month in The Priory!


If feel so at home on Lordship lane now, I am quite simply, no longer that unusual. Am I? 😱

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Sue · Posted

      Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?

      As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.

      ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?

      I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
