Louisa.

[fortified]

It says it 'has opened'.

Even though it hasn't.

[intexasatthe moment]

old police station site near Peckham Rye Station ????

Nigel lewis.

another name on the list.

Poor old ED - not up and coming enough???

[goosey-goosey]

The article has a slightly warped sense of local geography. Not only is the Brick House bakery "on the borders of Peckham" (I'd say it's pretty much slap bang in the centre of ED) but Bellenden Rd apparently stretches all the way to Queens Rd. Really? And as for Nunhead, it's a mere "outpost of Peckham". This smacks of someone looking at points on a map rather than someone with a genuinely interesting view on an area.

I think Lou is secretly gutted, given her deep yearning for a Waitrose in ED

It takes the gravy off the election call she made

When does this beacon open in said Peckham

Well Peckham High St is just a continuation of Queens Rd, so it's almost right. It's probably the most factually correct sentence in that joke of an article.

.... and Queens rd. continues on to the A2 and Dover.. and they don't have a Waitrose in Dover.

so the people there will be pleased there is a Waitrose opening just up the road.

Makes little difference because the whole thing is a fabrication. There is no new Waitrose.

[fortified]

All roads lead to Waitrose.

Could be a Little Waitrose - but can't find anything about it :)

[goosey-goosey]

Or it could be the Morrisons, which is vaguely near the old police station. Waitrose, Morrisons - easily confused...
