In short: M&S is coming, and Iceland is on a month-to-month rolling contract, I expect M&S within 12 months.


From my understanding:


Iceland lease coming up for renewal. M&S put in a pitch for taking it over but invest little in this pitch.


Pitch rejected for technical reasons (conversion of offices above into flats or somesuch).


New pitch being deliberated by Southwark as this is being typed. No idea of timescales.


This could be completely wrong and this may be the start of another 10 mile trhead...

I'd guess a large number of the particpants and readers are just in it for sh*ts and giggles.


Others like near neighbours are directly affected.


A few like or loathe M&S for what it is percieved to stand for.


But most probably have a genuine interest in which supermarket is on their high street, and their interest in the EDF is limited to these sorts of issues (i.e. they don't log in to debate the meaning of life, just to find out what's going on in their 'hood).


In short they've got a life, but outside the EDF.

pff, having read the other thread, it appears that when M&S displace Iceland the local population will halve within a week as financially challenged individuals starve to death, withering away under the misapprehension that there is no-where else within ED to purchase affordable food.

It seems that the standard way to put someone down with whom you disagree or who has shown an interest in something in which you aren't interested is to adopt the massive overused put down "Get a life" - this suggests that you have a more interesting life than a person whom you consider to be a poor sad barsteward and that somehow you are morally superior to him/her.


To which I say "If the thread is so boring, why are you wasting time reading it?" - or "How about not reading the thread and spending the day spending your valuable time doing else more productive?"


In short DF, many people *are* interested in the M&S saga. You aren't being forced to contribute to this discussion.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By ianr · Posted

      That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
