Tesco and Sainsbury's meat is not the best to say the very least. I dont eat much meat but find Morrisons and ASDA better.

Iceland... I stand by my opinion that they specialise in revolting, nasty, processed rubbish


I agree that their prepared foods were never to my taste - but as you also note 'and do sell some actual proper food too' their e.g. frozen unprocessed foods (and the other branded goods they sold) were entirely acceptable, good value and consistent quality.

I'm not into ready meals at all , I buy fresh from Ocado/Waitrose plus Fruit/Vegs Box schemes .

Co-Op to me is rank . I don't like any of their food from the fresh produces to the packaged stuff . I've always wondered how they stay in business but as they are the 'main' supermarket on the Lane most of us end up in Co-Op regardless .

I have popped in M&S twice , and I have found the food to be really tasty which was a pleasant surprise . I'd happily pay more to eat their products if it's a choice between them or Co-Op. It's a great stop gap for me inbetween my Ocado deliveries .

If only Waitrose would buy out Co-Op.......

This made me laugh !😃 You are right .... Who cares ?!

I feel the same way about dog grooming, so, horses for courses ain't it Toffee

So pleased M&S has opened a great new addition to the Lane.


Regarding the childish spats going on ...................Yawn...... am I missing the point ?


The Lane is thriving and its a wonderful area to live.


Apologies to the normal EDF pessimists for being so positive and upbeat

For goodness sake, get a grip. Please stop being so nasty to me. I merely voiced an opinion, that's what a forum is about. I truly hope that I dont come across as being nasty or vindictive. If I do, I would like to apologise to everyone. Sometimes its good to have a good old fashioned banter. We all need, including me, especially me, not to take things personally. I just want to join conversations/debates. Please everyone, lets be civil to each other. Life is too short not be. Xx

Not really childish. A trivial amount of effort to view someone's posting history, to illustrate the point (which should be obvious) that different people like to discuss different things...

Don't worry Toffee.. I told ???? to stop the anti foxy trolling..

looks like he/she has found someone else to bully.

People with nothing helpful / interesting to say do this kind of thing.

Jeremy if brown sauce is your thing, M&S do a black IPA version which is bloody excellent.


In fact their own brand range of condiments is varied and interesting. I've tried (and liked)smoked ketchup & (posh)hotdog relish.



PS If ever a thread needed Sean this is it!

Never tried it - thanks. Looks like it's made with the same beer I mentioned. Smoked ketchup sounds nice too.

I popped in again today.


It isn't as good as the Beckenham store on reflection. Staff not quite as clued up (yet) and stock levels low. Also, the range isn't anywhere near as good. Disappointing freezer section too and no deli counter. But then, Beckenham is naturally posh, and ED is, well.. I don't have to spell it out. It's ok. Nothing spectacular though. Some good wines.


A lidl to replace co-op would be the ideal situation now. We don't need bloody Waitrose AND M&S. This is a dump that's been given a makeover, it's not Chelsea FFS.

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
