There is a new food market taking place each Saturday morning at the Peckham Academy (entrance Lyndhurst Way near Rye Lane). Most of the stall holds are knowledgeable and friendly but just be aware of the change you are given. One stall holder gave us change for a tenner when we gave a twenty pound note. Very unpleasant experience. We pointed out the mistake twice but nothing doing. Does anyone have the contact details of the organisers?

In any shop, market stall or bar I always tell the assistant what note I'm giving them.

It helps avoid honest mistakes on their part and ensures I'm damn straight in my mind about how much money I just put out of my control and into somebody else's hands.

For me, it's the only way to avoid the above.

I've worked on stalls, bars and in shops and it's actually quite easy to not pay attention to what note you're taking, if it was on a cheque or electronic transfer there'd be no issue because there's a record of the amount - so I just create that record by saying it in front then giving them the note.

Start from here?

Hi there.



I am the organiser of Peckham Market. I'm very disappointed to hear what may have happened and sure we can bring this to a swift resolve. We take any complaints or problems very seriously. Please can you email your telephone number to [email protected] so that i can give you a call?


Best wishes


Mike

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
