Appologies if this is something that has previously been raised on here, but is anyone aware of the East Dulwich Deli (sandwich/snack/coffee type place) which is located inside Harrods department store in Knightsbridge. I was up there yesterday and I walked past and found it slightly odd, is it a franchise, does it have any connections with a local business?

Hi lousia,

i used to work for a company which ran a floor of Harrods, its all concessions of businesses in there so its likely its someone from an ED shop who pitched for a concession in there. - dont know who but if youre that interested i can mail my contacts and find out.

In my experience EDD staff are fine, helpful if you are looking for a specific ingredient or item, or want to order something for later (we had a great picnic supplied by them on 4th July and the weather was great too - tho' I don't think EDD can claim credit for that) - but given the usual queues and limited space the staff seldom have much time for friendly chit chat, so perhaps come over as professional rather than friendly.


The quality of everything there is high (I still find their sausage rolls the best) and while there's undoubtedly a premium pricing policy on balance the VFM equation works for me.

Last time I was in there was over 2 years ago and it was a quiet weekday afternoon. I was with friends who were visiting from South Africa. They wanted to know about a lot of the products they had because they were obviously foreign to them. When the asked questions the staff were just plain rude to them. I then tried to help out a bit and they were rude to me too.


I don?t have time for people like that.

True.


I find' it a pity because I often see things in the window I would like but I'm put off by my experience so I don't bother going in.


If someone had just been offish with me I probably wouldn't have let it bother me but I get irrationally defensive when friends and family are involved.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
