Because you can collect them at your convenience instead of having to wait in for them.

Thats right,,


I take in parcels for my neighbours almost every week.. and they pick it up from me when they get home.


Some are quite big. Probably too big to leave at the Co-op. Where are they Left ???


Things I order on line (Very Rarely) I can Track on line as to when it will arrive.

The Joys of being retired..

Because many people work?


Because they don't want to pay an arm and a leg to have it delivered at the weekend or some other time when they are not working?


Because they don't want to take a day off to wait in for a parcel?


ETA: DulwichFox, not all companies use delivery services which enable you to track your parcels.


In some cases you only know a parcel will be delivered some time between 8 and 6, or even later.


That is massively inconvenient even if you aren't working.


And even if you can track a parcel, you often don't get details of the delivery time until the morning of the delivery, which again is pretty useless if you work.

It's often quicker to do click & collect too - can be available the next day vs a few days for home delivery.


Some places have a higher price threshold for free home delivery compared to free click & collect.


There is really no need to write off as 'bizarre' the fact that different people find different things convenient! :)

No... it's not going a small Waitrose. It's not going to be a Waitrose at all. Because the whole thing has been completely made up. Move along.

fishbiscuits stay our of this please, you know NOTHING about the intentions of Waitrose, whereas Natty and I have already been told. I know you?re trying to look important on the forum, but it?s a bit cringe to be frank with you.


Rah you might want to change it again, go and heck the planning portal. Bunch of know-it-all?s on this forum.

Is Natty even a real person? Seems like a bot to me.


Anyway, I tell you what... if you turn out to be right, I will buy you and Natty whatever you want in the East Dulwich branch of Bill's. And a humble pie + mash from Brexitspoons for myself.

Bill?s isn?t due to open until 2020, but I?ll stick to the deal. And yes I probably will order the fillet mignon, just so I can prove to you that being smart isn?t your best trait.


Shouldn?t you be in a fancy restaurant somewhere so people can look at you spending your money?


Louisa.

Don?t spoil the fun for fishbiscuits, Sue. Let them believe once again that they?re right. I?m looking forward to that nice big plate of humble pie being eaten up. I?m assuming you?ll only eat it if it?s organic, served on a chopping board, and people can watch you eating it through a window at the latest trendy eatery on LL, or maybe we could find somewhere a bit trendier for 2019?


Louisa.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
