Seriously, what is so essential about the M&S Food range? It's for people who don't cook and have lots of disposable income.

Just do a search before you start a thread in case there is already one in existence.

There won't be a car park if there is an M&S, so lorries will block the road and wake up residents if at night or early in the morning. It;s like trying to shoehorn a size 10 foot into a size 5.

Maybe use the the other thread about Melbourne Grove instead of starting a new one.

Three Little Piggies, see this thread. Maybe add to it instead of starting another one.

See my previous posts about Melbourne Grove. Three new doctors started this year. They should offer you a timed doctor's call. Email the practice manager- [email protected] and express your concerns.

What is this in joke to do with tea cosies?

Went into an M&S on the Fulham Road the other day and thought the prices are very high. Walked out without buying anything. Blueberries - ?4 a punnet?

Why is the consultation period only a month, and why are there no notices required?

No doubt, Southwark will use this as another reason to get a CPZ. Pressure on parking in nearby streets.......do you think people will want to park in a car park on hospital grounds and then walk?

Consultation period only lasts a month and no notices are required. Why would this be I wonder?

Completely agree with First Mate. Have lived near an M&S before and it was a flipping nightmare. This was one with a car park as well, which was quite often getting blocked. They have huge lorries.

Great article. That should also apply to interactions with grown-ups in your life.

What is the policy for selling or renting property outside the immediate area? Anything in Southeast London?

Think there was a thread about ringing doorbells in the evening, to sell things, and also to ask for money to pay for cars being clamped, getting to hospital etc. all usual excuses to con you. What happened to you?

Maybe you could add a beany filling to a pancake. I have made some lovely pancakes with eggs, cottage cheese and oats, no flour. I know you don't have any cottage cheese in your shopping list but Lidl has a tasty version for under 50p a carton.

So what is your breakfast and dinner then?

Can you not cook a large pot of dried beans and then have them over several days with onions and tomatoes, cold or hot? I would chop the onions and use them raw on top of hot beans along with yogurt. Can you use dried chilli flakes?

Yes. If you are lucky you can find 4 tin packs of baked beans for a pound. Iceland used to do them but now they are 3 for a pound.

Morrisons has large loaves of bread for less than 50 pence.

I would like to know menu as well. You don't need milk to make porridge or an egg. I guess it would be better to have a hardboiled egg each day as it would seem more solid and therefore more filling. Could make some pastry with oil and milk and make onion savouries. Do you get tea bags?

I don't have a problem with going in there for a take-away.
