OMG, this is from their website:


"Zest Media produces luxury lifestyle magazines for the ultra high net worth residents of London. Each publication has been individually tailored to its readership, the common thread being beautiful design and fascinating local content bringing a national tone to local magazines."


Surely this isn't the "credible" magazine someone else was going on about on here? "Bringing a national tone to local magazines" ???


"Ultra high net worth residents of London"???? Jesus Christ. Sorry for blaspheming.

Absolutely Bonkers! 55 pages of property cr*p, some over the top fashion nonsense and a couple of interesting (ish) features and single pages of local interest. Better than that SE22 dross tho. Good print & stock... can't begin to imagine who would pay ?3.95 for it?
this is yet another cynical self serving bit of self promotion by local estate agents and overpriced pretentious local shops. it seems to me that all the local magazines have all the same contributors and advertisers. same old stuff regurtitated. who do they think they are? it has all got a bit too cosy and boring.

Hmm, what was it about the millionaire Foxy that first attracted me to him?

    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
