Back on topic - I understand that an item of value was stolen from the belongings of a member of staff there. Just goes to show - we may live in a lovely leafy suburb but there are always rogues with an eye on the main chance. Keep an eye on your stuff, even if it is stored where others aren't meant to stray.

Just goes to show if you don't keep your stuff safe some bugger'll have it away in the winkle of an oyster.

Probably a pikey.

Are you saying 'Nunhead' to that old woman? Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say `Nunhead' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred.

Moos the only way to put it right is for the whole EDF to raise their voices in an hour long version of Kum By Yah.

You lead, we'll follow.


Let the healing begin.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • 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"?
