I?m glad. I am sick of the independent pharmacies in the area deciding what they will and won?t sell based on their own beliefs, which is totally unacceptable. Roll on a decent shop like this stopping us having to pay the extortionate prices of Sainsbury?s and other for toiletries

Well I wouldn't like to see a pound shop in Lordship Lane. There is at least one Poundland within walking distance.



Wouldn't mind a Wilko though, as so far as I know the nearest one is in Penge (there are several pound shops there, as well. The down side is you have to live in Penge. Apologies for any offence caused to Penge living readers of the forum :) )

There are pound shops in Peckham and Camberwell.


A short bus ride for those who can't get there on foot. As with other kinds of shops which we don't have locally. Department stores, for example.


I don't see why it's an "extraordinary comment".


I've been here for very nearly thirty years now, and East Dulwich has changed, much as some people may wish it hadn't. Iceland was replaced by M&S, for example.


I don't think a pound shop would be a good fit any more, and I can't imagine Poundland (the only decent pound shop, in my opinion) would want to be here anyway.


In any case, whilst there are bargains to be had in pound shops, much of what they sell can be got cheaper elsewhere. Just because something is in a pound shop doesn't make it worth spending a pound on it.

Who are "the local champagne socialists", Louisa?


I'm a member of the local Labour Party, and I haven't seen anybody drinking champagne.


The nearest we got was on New Years' Eve when my partner and I shared a bottle of Cava.

Champagne Socialism has nothing to do with drinking Champagne..


Definition of champagne socialist -


A person who espouses socialist ideals while enjoying a wealthy lifestyle.


Home ownership and eating and drinking regularly in the most expensive bars and Restaurants.

and putting oneself above others.

why not saving walking to peckham don't you think ?

But if the CPZ did come into effect in ED it wouldn't apply at the weekend so you could park for free at any time and shop in all the local shops if you wanted to drive in. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I've lost touch with the proposals and live close by where a CPZ was introduced over two years ago.

Had a look in from the door. Does indeed look very small.

Would seem most of the space is being used for storage.

I think the old Londis was almost double the size. Does seem like a useable shop has been replaced by something which wasn?t really desperately needed. I do miss londis, and I used it a few times a week.


Louisa.

The original model for 7:11 (which preceded Londis) was to operate 4 deliveries a day (triggered by real time analysis of purchases in 4 hour segments so that the right food etc. against demand was on the shelves) - that way all stock was out for purchase and not in stock rooms, maximising display space. This was a just-in-time stocking model. Similarly (in intent) Iceland maximised its display space utilisation by stocking in freezers in the shop. Both excellent models for getting quarts into retail display space pint pots.

There are plenty of other shops selling what Londis used to sell.


And several shops open 24 hours, including Organic Village.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
