Franklins over-priced vegetable shop is SE22's "I Saw You Coming" off of Harry and Paul


Recommended Posts

After being quoted ?5.50 for two wilting, wrinkled old peppers and told "they cost an arm and a leg" at Franklins food store on Lordship Lane this weekend, I've come to realise that Franklins food shop is basically SE22's "I Saw You Coming" off of Harry and Paul. Discuss.

They charge 55p for their peppers at Franklins farm shop so I'm not sure what was happening with you - but something obviously went wrong as opposed to your suggestion


Sainsburys charge 1.75 for their pack of 3 mixed peppers by comparison

@Straferjack Maybe they saw me coming! Sainsburys FTW.

Funny you should mention that shop. I was in Kew Gardens at the weekend. This Lady was saying how she bought some furniture for ?1000. But the shop keeper gave her a certificate saying it was worth ?1800 ! She was chuffed!

Jimbo1964,


I've bought several lots of apples from the boxes outside and they've always turned out to be pulpy and tasteless inside. One day I asked for some mushrooms - did'nt get to choose them myself and ended up with a bag full that must have dried out a few days ago - inedible. Also paid a lot for an organic celeriac from France once - inedible too. Nice looking shop though and friendly staff.


Cheers and Bon Appetit!

Lol @the-e-dealer. I would've given him ?3000 obv!

    • There is a place on Kirkdale Sydenham Se26 across from Tesco that specialise in art parties for children or used to. Not sure of their maximum numbers or recall what they are called as haven't been that way recently.  Perhaps you can do a search for that location? 
    • On saturday afternoon 4th january at about 4.30 pm I got on the P13 bus from Goose Green to Sainsburies East Dulwich . I was followed by a an elderly white woman with a crutch.,  and distracted by the really inconsiderate driver who started driving BEFORE this lady had found a seat.  When i got off I found I had left my  small green rucksack on the bus and I turned round to see it leaving the bus stop. I have been to the Abellio  lost property office for this bus ,at 301 Camberwell New Road,  but it has not been handed in. If anyone has taken it,  please text me on 07835 598930 as it has vital medicines in the front pocket . The purse inside had little more than £10 and I have cancelled all the cards. It's the medicines that matter to me. 
    • Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for an art-themed birthday party venue and activity in South East London for my sister, who will be turning 9. The party will be on the second weekend of Feb (so ideally inside!), and there will be around 6-10 children attending. We’re hoping to find something fun and creative, such as pottery painting, T-shirt printing, or any other hands-on art activity. Ideally, we’d like it to be reasonably priced, with a budget of under £250. If anyone knows of places in areas like East Dulwich, Peckham, Nunhead, or nearby, I’d really appreciate your suggestions! Thanks so much for your help.
