co-op peckham rye

[Lizziedjango]

Your descriptions are, *Bob*, rather spot on!! LOL. However, I disagree with you that the wine was ALL awful. I mentioned earlier in this thread how annoying it was, to find the fridges broken so often. As this will be my local store, I really hope it will be a big improvement on what was.

IT'S BACK OPEN ON THURSDAY!!!!

>:D<

[*Bob*]

I shall be amongst the very first to step through the door - providing no-one else steps through the door prior to 11am, when I intend to get up, I should say.

And I shall hurry home to present my review.

[Lizziedjango]

*Bob* - I hope you will not be too traumatised if the newly revamped Co-op does not have garlic or limes. Having said that, I am incandescent with rage that I did not receive the ?2 off voucher, as I only live a stone's throw from the shop.

I hope that the smell of rat's pee has gone. I also hope that I - a size 8 incidentally - will be able to squeeze through the narrow aisles, without having to take a deep breath in.

Then they'll only have themselves to blame for the broken window.

That'll learn 'em.

It's worse than that, Lizzie - I actually received two ?2 discount vouchers. I'll be raking-in the free goods! (As long as I go make two transactions, naturally)

Interestingly, the marketing people at Co-Op HQ have chosen a rather disturbing image to represent the fresh new look of our fresh new Co-Op.

I'm not sure how to put this, but if (for some reason) I were to be asked to model a penis using only ice cubes and a Granny Smith apple, I think it would probably look something like this:

[Lizziedjango]

LOL!!

[HonaloochieB]

Penises are all well and good *Bob* and of course have their place, but I see the Jules Rimet trophy as reimagined by the good people of Pretty Traditional.

You see what you want to see. It's like a Rorschach ink-blot test.

You see football, I see cock. Vive la difference!

And all with two quid off.

I am clearly missing out on so much stuff. No DUKES voucher, no Co-Op voucher, no SNUB bag.

I went in this evening and I got a little bar of fair trade chocolate and a fridge-magnet cum note pad. Coz I have Membership card apparantly.

New improved co-op much better - better range, bread baked on premises (I think). Never noticed the strange smell... Never really was bothered by inability of staff to communicate, fresh veg is better from the Turkish Supermarket 100 yards up the road, still cramped, but I'm hardly doing a big shop in there..... Does what it says on the tin... Expect to be co-operative when there is more than one of you in the aisle.

[Lizziedjango]

Just went in today for the first time since the revamp. Thought it was very expensive and no organic stuff apart from milk :(

Produce aside - and it is a shop after all - it LOOKS better. However, I'd have preferred a better range of food. They still do great chicken, so can't complain too much.

[PeckhamRose]

Oh go on, I am sure you can!

[MadWorld74]

The new co-op is a bit cramped and still!! the place is a bit of a mess. I know you have to refil stock and that can be messy with boxes etc, but not all over the floor. And a few days in one of the chiller cabinets developed a leak and there was water running across the floor :(

(As for the grammer and shit, I have been told off by some pesky forumite in the past about my spelling. Rude.)

[PeckhamRose]

I understand that what happened is the police were alerted to the state of the place and the fact that there were a lot of burglaries there, and they read this forum to see what was going on(!) and then called in Trading Standards. The staff were (or should that be 'was' - no, sounds wrong, I'll stick with 'were') fired, and the place cleaned up. Crime is being designed out.

[Huguenot]

Grammar, MW, grammar

;-) Chortle

[SeanMacGabhann]

Not to mention the profanity

[Jimbob]

i wouldn,t expect anything else from mw. Infact it reminds me of an ex-forumite, mw are you atilla the gooner in disguise?

[crispy]

I have to say i am disappointed with the "new look"...it is still cramped and there seems to be less stuff,and very empty shelves when i went it there... the only improvement is that now we don't have to ask for deodorant from behind the counter...

[Eileen]

I am a bit baffled. Where is this co-op at Peckham Rye?

[Lizziedjango]

it is opposite the GPs in Forest Hill Rd. By the parade of shops which include Si mangia an Italian restaurant

[MadWorld74]

I shall be streaking down LL this eve, naked apart from a large hat, swearing uncontrollably and using awful grammar to boot. The profanity will be obscene. Gosh I am excited. Anyone want to join me?

(Co-op)....yes.

[Clinker]

It's seriously cramped. More cramped than ever before. Whilst waiting in the queue I see people breathing on the bakery delights - think of this next time you sink your teeth into your cinnamon swirl pastry... I saw a man's dreadlock poke a raisin out of a danish pastry too... :X
