Hiya dulwichmum,


Yes I certainly remember Starbucks at DKH Sainsburys. Was really surprised when it turned up there, not long after Starbucjs bought out Seattle Coffee Co and started to colonise the West End. Often used to have a coffee there on a Sunday after picking up stuff from Sainsburys.


Bit surreal to have a view of the other shoppers coming through the checkouts, though.


The staff in there were a bit hopeless, as well.

Well Slim,


I just loved the big soft chairs and the coffee and the fluffy top on it, and the cheesecake, and the Ikea sliding bead toy thingy that occupied the little ones while they ate their ginger bread men. Isn't it a sad day when you stop shoe shopping, just long constantly for sleep, and the hilight of your week is a Starbucks in Sainsburys!


Parenthood, men should have government health warnings tattooed on their foreheads!


Bagpuss78, cherish your weekend lie ins, and enjoy eating Haagen Dazs ice cream without lots of other spoons being grabbed from the drawer and plunged into your ice-cream pot...


I love the children, but I am exhausted.

*D-M you could apply for a job there! Enjoy your favourite coffees for free and get paid.*


* I am sure Ana could look after the kids. I still have a lactating donkey - this could be an opportunity for a new range of asses milk based coffees that we could introduce to Starbies*

Darling Mr Mikewbate,


It is the relaxation of Starbucks that I enjoy (I have been there twice today already, once at London Bridge and once in Clapham!). I couldn't possibly work there, it would take the fun out of it.


I really don't think I fancy donkey milk latte either to be fair. Perhaps you could corner the market with an ass milk bath on LL? Didn't Cleapatra favour that as a beauty treatment? I don't think I fancy that either, but well, some people like crystals and reiki healing - so I suppose someone might be into it...


Maybe you could rent some space upstairs in Soup Dragon?

Hurrah!!! I will be moving from North London to East Dulwich on Saturday & although I do not know where the Sainsburys is in relation to Barry Road I look forward to exploring my new home & surrounding areas. I am rather partial to the gingerbread thingammy latte & a Rocky Road biscuit :-$


& please someone say hi to me I know I am technically still a Nth Londoner until Saturday but I have posted a few times on here now & not heard a peep back.... :'(

Dear Giddygecko,


Welcome to Dulwich darling! It is just super, and with our branch of Starbucks returning - virtually paradise. I think we should all meet up in there when the coffee shop opens in order to christen it. I shall buy you a gingerbread drink and rocky road biscuit to welcome you here myself.


DM

Awwwwwwwww thanks DM. I am really looking forward to moving into the area (almost all packed) van is coming at 10am tomorrow. I wish I could go to the Dulwich fair on Sunday but I am working 10-6 so not possible. However I will have an explore the following weekend.


You all sound like a really noice bunch of peeps so looking forward to chatting & meeting some of you.


Cheers GG

    • Jafar lives up to his 5/5 reviews.  A great job well well done. Dismantled the boiler replaced the part and everything put back together and working.  I can only agree with all his excellent reviews.  
    • I know I shouldn't bite, but .... Would you like to give some  specific examples of exactly why you consider this orange faced  narcissist with the apparent  mental capacity of a gnat (that's probably being unfair to gnats) and a clearly rapidly declining memory  the "best US president of the last 50 years"?
    • Southwark Council has issued a response  on changes to planning in London, urging a rethink -    “We have significant concerns over plans to allow developers to build fewer affordable homes in London, and to cut developer contributions to local communities.   “Under current proposals, the fast-track threshold for planning applications in London would be cut from 35% affordable housing to 20%.   “The proposals would also cut in half the levy that developers currently pay when they build, which helps pay for much-need local community improvements.   “Today we have submitted our responses to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and Greater London Authority consultations and urged a rethink.”   Read the council’s response in full https://southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/planning/planning-policy-and-guidance/responses
    • I have a very large (at least four seater), very old (bought when I moved in circa 1990 🙄) sofa which I am very fond of. It was extraordinarily expensive (from Heals)  at the time. It has loose covers and large  feather filled cushions (on the seating part). It is completely sagging at one end (the end I usually sit) and I think the springs have "gone". Some time back I had a quote to repair it, and I can't remember what it was, but it was a lot, so I decided to put up with the sagging as it's not too bad if the cushion is plumped up.  Every so often I look at other sofas, eg corner sofas,  but I can't quite bring myself to say goodbye to this one. To get to the point. There are various DIY solutions online for sagging sofas eg putting a sheet of hardboard or something specifically made for this purpose beneath the cushions.  However there seems to be mixed views on how successful this is in terms of comfort. Has anybody tried this, or other remedies? Did it/they work? I know I could just try it and see, but it seemed to be a good idea to ask first!
