>>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?

Keep this music PR shit off the boards.

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

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
