Go to Iceland and buy the things you can carry and actually need....


Or drive to S........'s and fill the car up with things you think you need but don't and

fill up your new Brown Bins with all the stuff that you end up wasting...


Buy 1, waste 1 Free...

Can't BELIEVE so many people have responded to this brainless (if it's genuine and deliberately provocative if not) post. (which now includes me.. doh!)

*ADMINISTRATOR* - Surely it's time to suffocate at birth any posts that mention 'M&S Simply Food' or 'Waitrose' on Lordship Lane.. Please!

Hmmm, you'd think with a development of this scale that all the street would be consulted- only a handful it seems. It's been kept very low key.


The rationale is that since all the existing parking behind Iceland will be removed this will reduce pressure from cars parking in the area. Not sure that makes sense? Where will the residents in the new units park?


There is a carwash next to the proposed development and they regularly park cars waiting to be washed up and down the street- Southwark Wardens are awfully obliging about cars on yellow lines where this business is concerned;)


Do we need an M&S? It is not clear to me how much higher than the exisiting structure this building will be?

Iceland may sell one or two basics at a good price, but the majority of their stuff is truly appalling, for both health and environment. There are a number of low cost supermarkets which cater for those on a budget without such disregard for quality / nutrition. Personally, I won't shed a tear for their closure.

Iceland was installed and running a LONG time before these "nice shops" came to ED... perhaps we should get rid of them instead ans worship that is Iceland forever more :)


*NB. I'm neither for or against the establishment ;-)

Where do you suggest those on a budget go then?

Sorry Admin but the other thread is meant to concern the proposed application not the silly opinions (as seems to be dominating that thread) of whether a waitrose/M&S/Iceland should occupy the site and the price of fish (oooo a so diff can of worms!). Perhaps that thread should be advised to stay on topic no?

I don't see how they're any worse than the equivalent products from M&S / Sainsbury's / Tesco etc: burritos, filled jackets, toasted sandwich - granted the yorkshire pudding roll looks pretty lowest common denominator, but that's just food snobbery on my part, based in no way on nutritional information.


So I'll ask again, how do justify saying they're appalling for health? And in that regard, how do they differ from any of the major multiples.

There are plenty of examples. Frozen cheese and ham sandwichs are just one, doner kebab pizzas another (?1 at Iceland). You won't find these in Sainsburys (for example). Take a walk around Iceland and look at the type of cheap, highly processed convenience foods they specialise in. Yes, in my opinion they are one of the worst offenders when it comes to peddling this type of junk.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      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.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      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.

      Boycotting US products

      By jazzer · Posted

      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.
