Thanks to all who came along to Goodrich school yesterday and bagged themselves any bargains. We managed to reduce our years of accumulated school stuff in a matter or hours !It was a brilliant community afternoon.


We still have various items that we would like anyone to have for free (well a nominal ?1 towards our school eco - group please). These include the following:


wooden staging

sheets of plywood

assorted wood offcuts

pallet

2 x sanders

fridge

small school chairs

glass fronted cabinet

100's of assorted books bagged or boxed up

fluorescent light strips

various metal/iron (suitable for scrap)

roll lino

assorted pots paint


Have no photos as they are all for show up at school.


I will be in school tomorrow morning but it is a school day- if anyone genuinely interested in having anything then send me a message and we'll arrange a time to come and take stuff.


Please don't just turn up at school as is full working day. Many thanks.

Hi clare


Can you please tell me is it the big roll of red Lino or the smaller roll that you still have left. Do you still have the steps that was for the stage.


We would like to thank you for helping us finish off fitting out our new shop with the various items we picked up on Saturday.


We have managed to fit out our new shop using 100% recycled materials including wood, paints and some lovely artwork.

Please let me know and we can collect.


Many thanks

Iain

Hi Iain,


We still have some of the staging left. I can't remember if those steps went or which roll of lino is left until I get into school tomorrow. Can you pop in at all ? I will be there from 8.30. Ask for Clare at the office.


Really pleased that you could use loads of the stuff you picked up.


Best of luck with your new shop.(Don't forget to advertise it on the Forum!)

    • Our 10 month old kitten has been missing since this morning from Nutbrook street. I know that's  not that long but he's not well and on medication for diarrhea, vomiting, and eating very little. He only ever goes out back and today he got out the front door, an area he's never been before. He's very good about coming home when you call him but no sign.  Answers to Jeffrey or Jeff.  Please get in touch in you see him as I think he will be very dehydrated very soon. 
    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
