Loca Greens for veg www.localgreens.org.uk

I am so sorry to hear this news. This shop is a great local asset and I can't believe someone can be so underhand! Let me know if you need any support to stop this happening. Maria

Snub provide free cavas bags locally by the way. You can normally pick one up at health matters.

The bag thing was part of their environmental policy which I agree with. They did sell canvas ones. Doesn't take much to take a bag with you.

I asked and was just told it was going to be a restaurant - they arent giving much away! Hope they get their price point right for good real food!

Hi Monica, I will pop along and have a chat on Thursday o Friday this week. Maria

Can you actually join snub and if so how? Maria

Thanks Liz

When we received the plans for this from the council they were supposed to put some road markings and signs in but it has always just looked like a half completed job. As I live on the corner of Spurling and Crawthew I am aware how many near misses there are and whilst a cyclist, I do understand why car drivers are surprised to see a bike coming down a one way street 'the wrong way'.

The postman said that he must sleep in his car! Im no expert on how much a person urinates nor do I want to be. Just object to it being left on my doorstep!

Probably not if they are a cab driver who spends his time pissing in his car!

Wasnt prepared to find out.

5 bottles on my doorstep deposited yesterday. Postman let me know. Disgusting!

I love this thread as I thought the same to and as they often get dumped on my doorstep I would love to know what they contain. However curosity hasnt got the better of me. Maybe its an art project!

You have definitely carved the end.

Well said.

However because of subsidies we don't actually pay the correct cost of our food. We also proportionally spend less on food. At one point it was well over 35% of income and now sits about 15%. Sometimes affordability is taken out of ccontext. After all many people think nothing of spending monmobile mobile phone contact but complain about rising food prices. It is all about choice.

Hi there The no potato bags generally have more expensive veg in them. Potatoes generally are cheaper and if not new potatoes then the farmers can store them when harvested. Maria

The vegetables are so fresh and taste amazing. I feel as though I have just picked them straight from the field!? East Dulwich customer

I live a few doors down a d haven't received any info on this. Thanks for flagging this. I guess it does depend on how long the proposed refurb takes place. Scott who owns the bishop uses the forum so I am sure will soon comment on this?

Re pruning figs. If an established tree you should prune in June time. At the moment just remove any small unformed fruit. Then tidy up again in spring.
