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.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update

      By bonaome · Posted

      I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure. I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous. I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis). I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot  so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot. Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers.

      T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD

      13.11.25 - Had an internal blockage in our kitchen, which I had tried to fix myself but to no avail. Found TD Plumbfix Solutions via the East Dulwich Forum and within an hour of making contact, Troy had sent one of his team to have a look. They were absolutely brilliant, from start to finish. Kept me informed of what they were doing, gave me a few tips on future do and don'ts, and finished the job in such a way that should make it easy for me to fix should the problem arise in the future.  Intend using again in near future for a couple of small jobs and would wholly recommend this firm to anyone.

      Typically the way 'family run businesses' operate is either to have family members continue the business, or to sell on, either as a site (in this instance) or as a going concern. Either which way this is the way the owners create a 'pension' from the business. The number of suggestions as to alternatives makes me feel that the market for small repairing garages locally may be well served, so selling on the site makes the best financial sense for the owners. It's a sign not of the times but of normal business realities.

      I agree it's a shame, but it is not a "sign of the times", unless you think that up to now people have never grown older and retired!
