Just been to the Stannards? big garden centre on the A205 past Forest Hill. They are full of trees but empty of people who prefer the Homebase/B&Q chains. Such a shame, lovely shop. Not that we have christmas trees - I was there to buy regular planting stuff! But the place was empty. Just so's you know.

Is that not Shannons or is this another one on the A205?

Hi Ratty,

sorry that I missed your post this morning cos I was at the stall.

Have you got your tree yet? I wont be getting the potted tree just yet cos they get better closer to Xmas.

I.m very fussy when it comes to buying for my customers,it has to be quality at reasonable price.

I'll put up a notice when they are available.

Alternatively, let me know what size tree you're after and let me do the rest

I bought one this morning from "The Christmas Forest", which is in the car park on the a205 opposite the Harvester. They have a large selection and friendly staff. Most trees are grown in the UK.


?39 for a 6ft one - a norwegian spruce - quite expensive but a really good looking tree - but the smaller ones are much cheaper and they have both cheaper and more expensive varieties and potted ones too.


Sorry Cam, just went with my wife's recommendation in the end.


Good luck.

I am kind of conflicted about a tree this year.


My wife comes back into the UK from Canada on the 18th, but her daughter is going to her father's Lake Tahoe home for Xmas.


My girls are 16 and 19, so I expect fairly fleeting visits this year.


I think it might be time for a Spanish trip from Boxing Day, maybe see the New Year arrive in Madrid or Barcelona.


Ok I am now unconflicted, cheers!

Apart from Christmas tree I also stock a large selections of interesting flower and plants. The Forest Hill Supermarket open from 7am to 11pm.

Hand made pine wreath(by me)and arrangements will be available from 10th Dec. Any special order please call me

I'm also very good with last min order

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
