>>Dont be ridiculous, why would Sainsburys have a small local store that close to a big supermarket, especially in difficult economic times it wouldnt make sense! <<


Well they have a small local one in Herne Hill, not that much further from DKH than the Plough parade is. I think one just there could so quite well myself.

Hi, anyone know what the plans are for the area behind the new Somerfield (or whatever it will be), I live a few doors down Landells Road and am now horrified that HGVs will be backing in to make deliveries 24hrs a day! The apartments which have been built above the shops all have balconies facing the back, not a nice view if it's just to be parking.

Another Foxtons apparently

We won't get an M&S or a Waitrose here.


Why.

Look at Northcote rd in Battersea. Same type of set up to E.D. Varied professional Middle class locals and others , lots of "village-y" variety, a market & far too much competition from strong independents.


To be noted, they have no real bank cash points & only a Co-Op in the main street.

When I lived in Clapham south M&S moved in because of good demographics but no serious competition.


E.D is a victim / winner of it's own success.


Enjoy it as it is.......who needs them anyway..........really?


I may be wrong but I doubt it..........!


W**F

Dear Mitch,

Surely you are not insinuating that the only people that frequent Somerfields are riff-raff? I see mostly middle class people exiting the shop on Lordship Lane.


Your comment is so frightfully upper class and 2006.


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

I would support the nightclub idea.


Everyone on the terrace having tearful disco sunrise moments as the sun rises over LL.


Huge dubstep night on Wednesdays.


8-hour minimal sets from me and Villalobos at afterhours session starting at 12 pm sundays.


Get Tim Sheridan down to do something.


*likes this idea*

Actually, with mainstream artists like La Roux handing over remix duties to the likes of Skream and even Lil wayne picking up on the sound this year - not to mention Martyn et al helping evolve it from its more simple roots of a few years back I'll stick my neck out and say it'll probably be around for a few years yet.


Um, yeah, where were we. Somerfield, eh?

Not really. Not that someone would promo dubstep as a genre anyways ; )

    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
