I know this sounds pathetic, but the trolley system at Sainbury's, Dog Kennel Hill is driving me to distraction.

Some of the trolley's you have to unlock for ?1. Fair enough, but they have about 5 diffrent types of tolley.

When you come to take the shopping out and go to retrieve your ?1 from a like trolley you can't not find one. You spend the next 10 mins walking round the car park trying to find a trolley that matches yours so that you can get your quid back.

Even the guys that collect the trolleys think the system is stupid.

I understand the problem completely having done it recently too - but it is just a trolley?! maybe next time pick up a trolley you do not have to pay for (they are still there) then you can leave it at any trolley hut you like when your done?

I know Quids, ain't it great when you have a Friday off and spend most of the afternoon in the pub.

Then back home with a few large Peronis and get all surreal on a trolly thread.

It's what makes Fridays off special.

Cheers.

Quids, I salute you. It's good to know that it's not just me who heads straight to 'langers' after work.

And nice use of the Old English 'wanckered'.

I'm raising a large Peroni in your direction.

And before anyone makes an innuendo, it's an Italian beer, not a suppository.

The one thing that makes the weekly shop bearable is the staff at Sainsbury's. There does not seem to be a high turnover of staff. You see the same people regularly and they are always very polite and helpful. If 16 automated tills means job losses then that is really bad.

I flintch when the total of the weekly shop is revealled, the supermarkets are coining it in. I have tried all the local supermarkets, Tesco, Asda, Somerfield and always gravitate back to Sainsbury, mainly because of the freindly staff. I also find Iceland Staff really nice too.

    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
    • Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.  
    • I always like Redemptions coffee though I've not visted for awhile..Romeo Jones was always my 1st choice for takeout Coffee Redemption 2nd. What IS with all these independent Yoga and Pilates Studios? Theres one on London Rd in Forest Hill (Mind) thats recently opened and then theres the Pilates place thats opened on North X Road. I looked at the prices of the one on NorthX road and was frankly shocked at how expensive it is, The FH one is slightly less.  Made me decide to stick with classes in The local authority gym
    • Dulwich Village update: The old DVillage location is (again?) under offer. The storefront next to the new grocer is going to open as a yoga and pilates studio...the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦‍♂️  Megan's is starting to push its takeaway coffee and cannibalise some of Redemption Coffee's market share. Is Megan's struggling? It's quite a big restaurant they have and rent cant be cheap. The reinventing of the Megan's branch on Lordship Lane as Ollie's seems to have stalled. And Redemption is looking a bit tired these days...
