Thanks for the tip Nancy.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I love it around here and would never ever move back to North London if you paid me BUT a Waitrose somewhere in the vicinity- it doesn't have to be Dulwich, it could be Peckham, Camberbell, Elephant and Castle, I don't really care. Then maybe I wouldn't have to deal with the awful music they play in Morrisons just to buy a bag of quinoa.

Theres a Waitrose in Mottingham Dartford and Biggin Hill and those areas are far from up market.


All this fuss Waitrose is just a nice place to shop and not much more expensive then say Morrisons.


I'm surprised that ED hasn't got one. After all most of like John Lewis.

Not madly wild about Waitrose fruit and veg - Lidl is much much cheaper (although you do have to take what they have) but Waitrose is a far nicer shopping experience. The aisles are wider, the staff are more friendly and the wine selection is superior to other supermarkets. Iceland does have fantastic offers on things like t-bags and other stock items such as sugar are also very reasonable. I'd rather save where I can on some items so that I can afford to splurge on others. Each to their own I guess.

FWIW mine was in what I took as the spirit of the OP - I was poking fun at the snobs. But I'm starting to doubt whether the OP was a wind-up after all!

Either troll or very very sad

Popped in to see my elderly house-bound neighbour this morning. She had just popped her dinner into the oven: Roast chicken, potatos, peas, carrots and a small sausagey thing - all out of a box from Iceland, ?1.50. Wouldn't be my choice but it's ideal for people like her who live on their own, can't get out, and rely largely on what's in their freezer to keep them going through the week.

Was she slow-cooking the ready meal?

It's ridiculous that Waitrose don't own a single store with an 'SE' postcode. What's that about? Personally I'd like to see one in ED, or somewhere nearby.


Would be funny if they opened one in Peckham, just for of the indignation it would cause amongst ED residents.


The original post was clearly trolling by the way. Must have touched on something though as we're still talking about it 5 pages later.

Budget stores look horrible in UK, but in Germany/France, Greece stores, like Aldi, Lidl, Netto, are well kept outside and inside and it is a pleasure to shop. Overseas these shops, which in UK are considered discount stores, are at the same level as Carrefour and AUCHAN. I have been to some during holidays and have found they are kept in better conditions than their correspondent in UK. Some of their food are better quality than the one sold in other major stores in UK.

    • ". Which ever way you cut it, the world has become a much more scary and dangerous place. " This is true, but what I can't get my head around is the "why?" Where is the win for Trump/America/Voters  with all of these moves?
    • As Vladi said in his post "The Fifth". Will Trump even complete his term in office before someone does away with him. At this rate the rest of the World hate him, the leaders of the nations have distain for him, maybe his aim is to divide up the world between the USA, Russia and China, with Europe no longer being an Allie of the US.  However the only reason Trump is behaving in the way he is, is to stop spending money on non US related issues and hence driving all the money back to the US. As he says he "wants to make America great again". Personally he scare the ebiegibies out of me. What's the odds we'll be at war by the end of 2025, or the three super powers will be at war. Which ever way you cut it, the world has become a much more scary and dangerous place. 
    • Thanks Ilona, it was that article which led me to do the Google search in the first place! And also to sign up to get updates from the Stop Trump thing, though I have mixed feelings about that (diplomacy etc. Starmer in a difficult position etc.) I know, it's never ending. And when I googled (Google!!!) to find out whether our website was American, I found out it was incorporated in Israel with its Headquarters in Tel Aviv 😭
