Lidl in Dulwich?

[DulwichFox]

That has nothing to do with Community.. Going out to listen to music and getting Pi**ed

With stalls selling goods. That is business not community.

And as you well know I'm always at the Goose Green Fair and make an appearance at our own street party.

I was there in 2014 dancing / participating. 2015 I was on holiday.

I'm talking about checking if your elderly neighbour needs anything from the shop.

Helping them if they need a bulb changing. Help them tidy their garden.

People here call this Narcissism

Why not start a discussion in the Lounge about the definition of community?

Why not start a discussion in the ED issues areas asking if ED has a community? (Should all gatherings of local people be stopped to make people go and tidy elderly neighbours' gardens instead? Or could they be done in parallel?)

Either way, this discussion is about Lidl in Dulwich, please keep it on topic.

They'll need to find a plot with a car park will they not? That could be the deal destroyer.

I'm kind of surprised that supermarkets are still going in London. With home delivery services and lot's of local shops for top ups / specialty stuff, who'd want to trudge round some huge, fluorescent food warehouse?

People who want to spend less. Lidl is cheaper than any home delivery or local shop.

They've again got their (presumably ready for the festive season) relatively expensive range of wines in there.

ie many well over a tenner :)

They could incorporate a Lidl at the new school on the old Dulwich Hospital Site. Underground parking, Mothers could drop and shop.

Just before I left my Job in Kentish town this year a lidle replaced a co op on the high street, It's a different model from the usual ones like in Peckham, smaller than the size of the old Iceland on lordship lane, & without a car park more like a "local" they had done away with the Aisle down the middle with the baskets of tat (which I enjoy a rummage through) They had smaller items easy to shove in a bag and get on the bus with...so wondering if this is something they are going to roll out in other locations. definitely aimed at taking on the Sainsburys local and Tesco express shops I reckon.
