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.

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      The space between Tesco Express and Dulwich Trader on Croxted Rd is now Chococo. It's basically a hot chocolate and coffee bar, as far as I can see. It was pleasingly busy with kids and parents when I passed by! https://www.chococo.co.uk/our-chocolate-houses/dulwich

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I recently sent my granddaughter a birthday card. I posted it really early to make sure it got delivered in time. Over two weeks  later it still  hasn't arrived,  and in retrospect I think I shouldn't have put "Do not open until 12 February" on the back of the envelope. I really hope I'm wrong, and I have a suspicious mind, but I wonder if someone somewhere in the postal system thought there was money in it 🙄 Obviously there wasn't, I'm stupid but not that stupid, she got her birthday money by BACS.

      Anyone see news last night? Topic was postal deliveries or lack of them.  Sites an example of postie going on two weeks hols and no back up or temp in place. Showed delivery room packed with letters waiting! Parcels get top priority. Amazing isn’t it as unemployment figures have risen.. wouldn’t have thought it was rocket science  to utilise some of these unemployed folk to help out. Get fresh air, fitter, more than dole  and surely can follow a round since most people are glued to their mobiles. Maybe not happening because of union and can’t imagine they need a dbs! Umm..
