I've defended the Co-op on here for ages, but after recently going in for cornflakes and finding just empty shelves, plus buying fruit which turned out to be rotten, I am reluctantly forced to agree.


I have never found the staff rude though, apart from one woman who I've never seen since. But yes the queues are often ridiculous.


I recently realised how extremely expensive the DKH Sainsburys is. I have started doing my main monthly shop in Lidl and Tesco in the Old Kent Road (on my way back from the tip :)) )

Sue I recall that you would jump in to defend the Coop, now at least you have seen for yourself the valid reasons for peoples frustration. Sainsbury is increasingly expensive, it's true.

We are currently raiding Savers, for toiletries, hand wash and Fairy liquid ?1 and half the price of SDKH. The nearest one is Rye Lane. Not too far from the tip! happy shopping

I don't mind the coop on LL Though i do find its prices on the high side, so only pop in if I need something and can't be bothered to pop to Sainsbury's... tho I loathe the one on forest hills rd, only stop in there if i need to get something on the way home from work as its convenient, the queues and narrow aisles !

I doubt very much if I'll pop into M&S as I don't really like their stuff tbh & will still use the coop on the lane if i need anything whilst there.

It used to be Somerfield before its Co-op incarnation, I think.

Romany creams are not really called that, are they? (I'd've thought they must be "members of certain travelling commmunities creams" at least.) To keep it on thread, it will be interesting to see whether CoOp changes for the better with the opening of the new branch of not-just-any-supermarket.
The M&S would be an improvement if they stick to their scheduled opening hours. On more than one occasion, I've gone along to the Co-Op at 9:30pm on the promise that they'd be open until 11pm, only to find that they'd already shut for that day (tends to be Tuesday and Saturdays).

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
