I once checked out the floor space in a Primark and was shocked to discover I couldnt actually move at all, the ground was littered with cheap clothing items apparantly 'new'!

Hi,


This morning at 8am they had no entry signs in the vegetable area as they were scubbing the floor! Given that the store is open 24 hours, my reasoning is that they should scrub at say 01.00 and then mop over at 7.00. Gee the store has really gone downhill! But this may be that they had a Celeb arriving at 09.30 and the idea was to take the subject (after the meet & greet) straight through to the staff canteen - no out of date stock there then!


Also, why is it that the Sainbury's 'Basics' grapes are more expensive than the other type's that are on offer?

Bing bong... thats me gone!

Hi,


It was tried today, but after opening, and some thirty five minutes later it was abandoned as everyone in East Dulwich was heading for the half price legs of lamb. That section was cleared out in less than 20 minutes of opening. Leaving you with the alternative leg of lamb at some 10 -12 pounds more expensive. You also had to follow the sheperds directing you into another isle.


They will try the system again on Wednesday when yes you guessed it, the legs of lamb will be in stock again. It is worthy of note that if you enter the store and sing, they do try to help you to get your shopping and get you to the nearest available checkout quickly. I find it works very well when I sing 'I am a cider drinker', by the Wurzels especially if my eyes are glazed over!


Oh well, I had better go as my carer has just come in.


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

No way to one-way shopping aisles

Sainsbury?s have denied plans to install a one-way system for shoppers on its aisles of its Dog Kennel Hill superstore ? blaming an April Fools' prank.

Rumours had been circulating across East Dulwich with dozens of locals actually looking forward to the system being introduced to reduce congestion at the end of aisles and in busy sections such as the bakery and the butchers.

Suggestions of speed bumps being installed to reduce speeding trolleys and even a congestion charge around the most sought after areas of the East Dulwich store were ruled out by Sainsbury?s.

A spokesman said: ?From Sainsbury?s point of view, there is no truth in the rumour.

?When we heard, it did seem like an exaggerated April Fools day gag.?

Hi,


I guess they gave up that idea but introduced self scan checkouts in a move to move you forward quicker. I have visited three other stores but have not seen a self checkout. I guess East Dulwich is the leader for the future brain dead customer that cannot communicate with a unresponsive cashier.... Bring back the Daleks!


Regards,

Libra Carr.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
