James Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A rival East Dulwich website reckons East Dulwich police station will be demolished so M&S can move in. Who keeps spreading these rumours? Are they hoping someone at M&S will be brainwashed into actually doing it?

bon3yard Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I just wish they'd say so either way...the suspense is killing me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3588-the-ms-rumour-returns-yet-again/#findComment-112105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonM Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 But M & S have said so "either way"...many many times.

*Bob* Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just because there's no more evidence of an appearance by M&S doesn't mean we can't rehash the same old 'debates' again.Hands-up everyone who thinks M&S represents the Zenith of supermarket shopping!Hands-up everyone who reckons people who shop in Iceland need a wash!etc!

EDmummy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Don't quite understand the obsession with M&S. Food contains way too much salt and is often easier to cook from fresh. Lazy way to heart disease if you ask me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3588-the-ms-rumour-returns-yet-again/#findComment-112184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 IMHO M&S food is very expensive for what it is, and not always as high-quality as they like to make out. Not impressed.Now a Waitrose, on the other hand...

fish Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Maybe Primark should diversify into the Food Market? Cheap 'n cheerful food for all, then. M&S can, at least, be trusted on the ethical side of things.

Big Jim Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Seconded Ant. Waitrose is brilliant.

James Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 The official hierarchy is as follows:1) Waitrose2) M&S3) Sainsbury's4) Tesco=6) Morrisons=6) Asda7) Co-op8) Aldi9) Lidl10) NettoCo-op is a difficulat one to place - middle class-friendly ethical stance meets pikey image.

SimonM Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I simply would not include M & S in a list like that as it sells a much narrower range of stuff - i.e. almost all M & S own brand - then the chains.

Monkey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Agree with James (and not because he always makes me laugh) - Somerfield does not make it in the top 10.

Not impressed.> I agree. My dad used to supply fruit to several supermarkets and M&S' specifications were lower than a lot of the less favoured chains. Still wouln't mind one though - if just for their spicy lentil and tomato soup.

fish Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Can someone kindly explain, why Waitrose shopping offer leaflets have been circulating around East Dulwich and posted through our letter boxes? Isn't the nearest store in Beckenham? Or, has Somerfield turned into Waitrose, overnight? Maybe, the powers that be up at Waitrose Head Office have been reading the EDF?

muffintop Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Will find out definitely for you, (just give me a mo!quick internal call or e-mail as she is not answering her phone) Nothing like going directly to the horse's mouth and having a quick word in someone's shell-like, at least can put a stop to rumours either way XX Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3588-the-ms-rumour-returns-yet-again/#findComment-113132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffintop Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sent an e-mail, can't get hold of anyone in that dept at mo, I have half day today, but have asked her to text me and will let you know the minute I do. Yay! I love half days, mine starts in exactly 15 minutes!
