Oh I do apologise (why so stroppy?)


I was just pointing out that Co-Op have just sold 24 of their Somerfields stores to several large superrmarket chains. They have yet to confirm which ones are going to whom.


I also think it is incredibly naive to believe the emails these companies send out when asked about new store openings (of course they're going to say "we have no plans" etc. etc. That's how it works until announcements are made.)

Hi,


I have just been speaking to a friend of my who is a specialist journalist. He said that that he has it from a very reliable source that LIDL are interested in East Dulwich Somerfield and the Woolworths store in Peckham as they are expandining due to the current market. Current trade in their stores is up by 17%, they are looking to expand with stores no more than five miles from an existing branch.


Kind regards,

Libra Carr.

Hi again,


I think some commentators might be confused with the brand name! Lidl is not Netto. They have branches all over Europe and in Germany by the forces bases. Most of the product sold in the shop is far superior to any English supermarket brand! Recently bottled fresh water was tested for purity and price and Lidl came tops alongside Yorkshire Water.


The only problem with Lidl is that if you only speak 'Sarf Lunnon' you will not understand the labels as they are mosty multi lingual.

Regards,

Libra Carr.

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      By NewWave · Posted

      Personally I feel its a shame for the tree. The bridge looks pretty badly damaged-I just hope it does'nt mean the entrance from Dulwich Common/Lordship Lane will be closed for ages while they fix it.

      This is such a shame for the bridge.  I wonder if anyone saw it fall, and when it was (at night?) Is the walking path through the woods still accessible?

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      Free range chickens &/ organic whole chickens are around £15-20 retail these days…  Given their credentials in hospitality etc I’d assume Norbert’s has sourced decent quality chicken, wholesale. The fact they aren’t saying anything about that on the menu or website seems strange…  if it were true it would help justify the price. Chicken & 2 x Chips - would work out £10.50 a head between 4… not bad if it’s decent quality chicken and seasoned well with care & skill

      No mow May

      By Mabaker · Posted

      I have no lawn but still trying to get wild flowers to germinate. After a couple of years sowing seeds I've finally managed to produce some ox eye daisies. Still trying to succeed with cornflowers, vipers bugloss to name but a few. A couple of foxgloves are coming up. Its a gradual process for which we need lots of patience. Don't forget after No Mow May it's Let it Bloom June.
