I thought I'd been promised that I would grow up to live in a rational and progressive society which would provide for the greatest good of the greatest number, with intelligent and decent allocation of resources allowing all who possibly could to fulfill their potential.


I'm absolutely certain that we were not going to start imperial wars or send young men to die pointlessly in Afghanistan (you know, what with Rudyard Kipling already having pointed out the gigantic stupidity of that one somewhat previously).


And we can't even manage a vegetarian restaurant in SE22. Hah.

Re. Co-op - don't want to get you all into a froth but in my mums little town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire have always been only two supermarkets, a Co-op and a newish and much better located Somerfield. I went back at the weekend to find that since Co op bought Somerfield they have sold on the quality Somerfield site to Sainsburys (now about to open there next month) and have kept their old site. This strategy would suggest that they are unlikely to keep both sites on Lordship Lane and may not even keep the best one either so I'm sticking with my bet that we'll get something different on one of those sites.

Cate, if you can get a second confirmation from the bloke in the pub then we'll take it as read.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By ianr · Posted

      Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.

      Taxes

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'd get rid of duty free shopping.  Nothing to do with tourist tax but something I hate.  All that glitz as you try to get through to Wetherspoons in the departure lounge.  No great savings over on line or even at times supermarkets, and the hypocrisy of selling cheap cancer sticks. Ok back to tourist tax
