WTF do some people in ED seem to think that M&S is any better than Somerfields ?


Considering that fresh cooked food is by far the best and that ED has all the shops that can supply such fayre i can only presume that they think that by the arrival of said vacumous food hall will increase house prices as well as cholesterol and obesity. Considering the ED house prices are still an overpriced liberal fantasy it seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

Actually AFN I'm guessing that most people don't give a good goddamn on the matter.

There is no M&S in ED because they haven't opened one. If there was one I'd use it. If there isn't one, I won't yearn for it and it won't make or break the area for me.

M&S is better than Somerfield simply because the prepared food is superior.

But then I work in Brixton so I can stooge into my local there and pick up 500 ml of pomegranate juice, 500 ml of limeade cooler and a beef enchilada wrap, and all for only ?6.40NP.

Wouldn't do it every day, any more than I would if an M&S was situated on my doorstep.

Also now they have a gallery of cheapness to sell off near sell-by date items, which of course they'd need to do in ED in case there were some 'blow-ins' from Iceland.

I mean you never know.

Yes, home cooked food is better and usually more healthy. But...


- Not everyone has the time or inclination to cook a proper meal every day

- It would presumably be open after people get home from work - unlike the local shops, which most of us can really only visit once a week.


Personally I'm happy with what we've got, but I can see how some people may find it useful.

M&S phah!!!


"Plan A, because there is no plan B" that's what they said...

M&S clearly announced that there were going to be carbon neutral as a business by 2020? (or was 2012??) but everything is still so over packaged, and it is nearly impossible to find a vegtable that is British... sometime I feel the need to dash in at London Bridge but veg from Peru, Kenya, Argentina, Egypt (everything but british) so I have now given up gping there...


yes, folks... we can manage without asparagus tips till the British season comes along...

Now, Waitrose and Tony, that I can see - quality connection." yes your right mickey the best PM bar far and those academy schools of his were a TOP idea too !

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
