Fair point Hels. It is a question that certainly needed asking. Not sure if it is so many posts per page despite their length or whether it depends on how long each individual post is.


hmmmm.....

Dear James, you seemed to have missed this again. To make it easier:

What is it about Waitrose that you have been pushing for it for years? What mandate did/do you have to approach retailers to come to the area? How do you choose which retailers you approach or is it just your personal choice?

I dont find Iceland slumlike in fact it is very clean and very acceptable as a shop.


Please explain why you find it slumlike.


Or is it because you live in a far different world to other people

The mere fact that Kerry Katona was once the Iceland cover girl is enough to keep me away from it forever.......


Oh that and the one fateful "chicken curry" I once bought in there where they clearly disregarded taste and meat when putting it together... Never again! Some students experimented with drugs, I experimented with Iceland Chicken Curry.

"Most" of "us"??


Please speak for yourself rather than on behalf of other people!


I don't want the new guys. I like Iceland for things like six large free-range eggs for a pound, the cheery people at the checkouts, and the welcome escape from pretentiousness.

Hi edhistory,

I'm an elected representative and was asked about such stores. Checked out the feeling via this forum and asked both M&S and Waitrose if they had plans to come. I'd prefer Iceland to stay because clearly many people like it. But they're no longer willing to pay the new market rent on their current site.


Equally I've spoken to three cinema chains about coming to Lordship Lane.


Regenerated the Leisure centre, all street lighting modernised, 20mph, new schools. It's what local politicians should do.

Hi James, from what I've read on this forum it seems that you are doing your best for this community. However, I do hope that when you say you're asking people's views on Iceland, M&S & Waitrose, this forum is not your sole source for canvassing local opinion.

And decent pavements to enhance Lordship Lane's "cafe culture" must surely be next on the list. :)

Are all to be held hostage by car drivers? People needs homes, they also need local food retailers if they are not to drive everywhere.

My only misgiving is the point raised re closing down a low cost food outlet, they do sell fresh and frozen non-prepared food.

By the way, anyone know what is happening with the empty office block next to the swimming pool, it would make an ideal Iceland!

If Iceland closed, we would all miss the opportunity of buying their authentic Deep Pan Doner Kebab Pizzas. Italian food doesn't get much better than that - who needs M&S and Waitrose?

I actually tried one of those pizzas a while ago. The kebab pieces were kind of sausagey, and really tasteless. I eat some right old crap, but wouldn't really recommend that.

      Chern Thai Restaurant Reopened On Grove Vale

      By Zak · Posted

      They’ve overhauled the kitchen and I gather they have a new chef. Also, a new menu is on the way.   What with Norbert’s arriving soon on Melbourne Grove, there’s going to be an Interesting offer down there.

      I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills.

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Soylent Green · Posted

      GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).
