rahrahrah your constant banging on about other people's opinions, just because they happen to be different to your own are pretty damn tiresome too. I could easily throw that yawn right back at you. Get over it. Some people like to hold local business to account for the right reasons rather than saying everything is lovely and cuddly just for the sake of it. That's life. Sensible critique keeps everyone on their toes.

Oh, do get over yourself! Please.


Just because you are on school holidays, doesn't excuse your irritating behaviour.

School holidays? Erm slightly confused by this comment. Get over myself? I'm merely defending myself against people claiming I am deliberately negative about new businesses, which is not the case. I would like more variety in the local restaurant scene, is that a crime? We currently lack a Mexican or Greek place of any description. As for the Chinese restaurant choices they are definitely way back in the 70s still. Your comment is suggesting I am not allowed to be critical of the ED sacred cow that is the restaurant scene, correct?

Utter nonsense another case of selective reading looking for Foxy & Louisa posts to sneer at..

Did you miss this one ?


When it was Andreas's it was a Greek shop and was owned by relatives of a guy I used to work with in Telecoms.


It is a great place and is indeed a rare example of a LL business actually flogging decent stuff.

Very helpful and friendly and unpretentious.

P.S. Bet no one comments on Foxy being positive.




Just one of many Foxy's positive posts. Like the ones on various Indian outlets, Dulwich DIY, SMBS,

Hisar, Clipper, Iceland...

P.S I get good service in other ED outlets but do not feel the need get hysterical and post here

every time I buy a cake, loaf of bread or cup of coffee.

1) it appears they are doing very well at the prices they are charging - hence their expansion to date

2) they'd be wrong to change a winning formula/price point

Arhh.. Nail on the head... I think.


If Franco Manca can make it work charging low, reasonable, realistic prices.


Then the suggestion that other businesses are having to charge over the top to cover rents

by unscrupulous landlords does not hold water.


You cant have it both ways..


I rest my case .

I have never slagged off this place.


I have only ever spoke about my dislike of Pizza and its nutritional values.


Even before it had opened I commented on the place being the best transformation of any outlet in E.D.


So give Foxy a break..

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
