WTF do some people in ED seem to think that M&S is any better than Somerfields ?


Considering that fresh cooked food is by far the best and that ED has all the shops that can supply such fayre i can only presume that they think that by the arrival of said vacumous food hall will increase house prices as well as cholesterol and obesity. Considering the ED house prices are still an overpriced liberal fantasy it seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

Actually AFN I'm guessing that most people don't give a good goddamn on the matter.

There is no M&S in ED because they haven't opened one. If there was one I'd use it. If there isn't one, I won't yearn for it and it won't make or break the area for me.

M&S is better than Somerfield simply because the prepared food is superior.

But then I work in Brixton so I can stooge into my local there and pick up 500 ml of pomegranate juice, 500 ml of limeade cooler and a beef enchilada wrap, and all for only ?6.40NP.

Wouldn't do it every day, any more than I would if an M&S was situated on my doorstep.

Also now they have a gallery of cheapness to sell off near sell-by date items, which of course they'd need to do in ED in case there were some 'blow-ins' from Iceland.

I mean you never know.

Yes, home cooked food is better and usually more healthy. But...


- Not everyone has the time or inclination to cook a proper meal every day

- It would presumably be open after people get home from work - unlike the local shops, which most of us can really only visit once a week.


Personally I'm happy with what we've got, but I can see how some people may find it useful.

M&S phah!!!


"Plan A, because there is no plan B" that's what they said...

M&S clearly announced that there were going to be carbon neutral as a business by 2020? (or was 2012??) but everything is still so over packaged, and it is nearly impossible to find a vegtable that is British... sometime I feel the need to dash in at London Bridge but veg from Peru, Kenya, Argentina, Egypt (everything but british) so I have now given up gping there...


yes, folks... we can manage without asparagus tips till the British season comes along...

Now, Waitrose and Tony, that I can see - quality connection." yes your right mickey the best PM bar far and those academy schools of his were a TOP idea too !

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
