Looks flash - there's a few hundred quid's worth of custom-made transfers in the window announcing the arrival of the hospice 'superstore'. I wonder how many Celine Dion CDs, old teapots and shiny suits they'll have to shift to pay off the lease.

Passing there this morning, I notice that the "super" has been removed.

i donate loads and loads of really good children's stuff - as i am sure do many parents here in nappy valley - yet they never have much more for sale in the 'children's department' than three stained baby-grows.

anyone know why that is? the place should be coming down with boden!

That's a good point OliviaDee. You would have thought the chrity shops here would be awash with quality chidren's items. I've just had a clear out and have bags of excellent chidren's books that have been clogging my shelves which I plan to donate to the shop. I will post back if they're never seen again.


I believe that some charity shops have a policy that items from well supported shops can be redistributed to areas that are not which would answer your query.

just checked out that e-bay link.


so what exactly is the point of having local charity stores at all - if all they want to do is sell the crappier stuff (and it really is in St C's) to their actual customers and auction the better stuff on-line where they do not have to pay Lordship Lane overheads?

      Blue recycling boxes

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Southwark have decided to no longer supply or support the use of the smaller blue boxes for recycling  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/your-recycling-containers Fot those of you that currently use a blue box, it will be removed and a large blue bin will replace it. A lot of people use the blue boxes to avoid cluttering their gardens or the street so whilst I understand their health and safety reason, it's going to potentially lead to more clutter on bin day or more bins left on streets as there is no room in properties.

      Royal Mail Late Deliveries and the price we have to pay

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      That would be a reasonable attitude as regards the management, but my experience is that the posties are doing the best they can but are woefully understaffed (there's no cover for sickness or leave, and some walks have no regular postie assigned) and, despite denials, packages are prioritised over letter post. Posties can only physically carry parcels to far fewer addresses than letters, which means even on existing walks they don't take letters out wit them if they are carrying parcels. Because they cannot walk to the DO (in Peckham) they have to drive there and back, with two or 3 walks worth in each van. Making covering another postie's  walk that much more difficult.
