Oh I do apologise (why so stroppy?)


I was just pointing out that Co-Op have just sold 24 of their Somerfields stores to several large superrmarket chains. They have yet to confirm which ones are going to whom.


I also think it is incredibly naive to believe the emails these companies send out when asked about new store openings (of course they're going to say "we have no plans" etc. etc. That's how it works until announcements are made.)

Hi,


I have just been speaking to a friend of my who is a specialist journalist. He said that that he has it from a very reliable source that LIDL are interested in East Dulwich Somerfield and the Woolworths store in Peckham as they are expandining due to the current market. Current trade in their stores is up by 17%, they are looking to expand with stores no more than five miles from an existing branch.


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

Hi again,


I think some commentators might be confused with the brand name! Lidl is not Netto. They have branches all over Europe and in Germany by the forces bases. Most of the product sold in the shop is far superior to any English supermarket brand! Recently bottled fresh water was tested for purity and price and Lidl came tops alongside Yorkshire Water.


The only problem with Lidl is that if you only speak 'Sarf Lunnon' you will not understand the labels as they are mosty multi lingual.

Regards,

Libra Carr.

      Is Starmer soon to be toast?

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Taking this to the extremes, if Starmer steps down as PM, who would be best to step into the role? This could be different to who would put themselves forward as the better options may not come forward.  The grass may not be greener over the fence!

      Looks like current Chinese spying fiasco is going to fester on further now that the White House has come down hard with  criticism. This follows on from the Chagos  debacle where the UK has committed to giving up these strategic islands whilst paying out £101 million per annum to lease them back from Mauritius ( a staunch China ally) for next 100 years. The other on-going festering sore is approval for the proposed huge new Chinese embassy at the old Royal Mint site close to tower Bridge. Despite objections from MI5, this massive development in inner London is likely to be approved as a goodwill "gift" to Xi when Starmer visits China later this year. In return, Xi will probably release Jimmy Lai from prison. It begs the question - just why do we kowtow to China?
