Hoo-bloody-rah! At least it means that me and other U E Siders won't have to drag our sorry bods off to the hell that is Co-Op on FHR when we need some (insert everyday foodstuff here, which Co-Op is v unlikely to have anyway). Nectar points, too! Double word score.

Great news - Then I can get a decent bottle of wine near the bus stop on the way home - good stuff.

Just need Tea Amore to open earlier in the morning to get a coffee on the way to work and I'm all sorted on the drinks front.

Do we really need a pound shop in SE22? Penge's main post office is now part of a tacky bargain basement shop where you have to walk through shelves of tat to get to the PO.


Surely the owner can do better than this?

Fallen off the Wagon yet Mick?

Can?t say I can see a Sainsbury?s on the corner being of any use to me.


Granted, I don?t actually know where the food in my house comes from, suffice to say that there seems to be a regular supply, but whenever I do need odds and ends I can generally find them at Val?s.


Sometimes however I do have to go to the horrendous inconvenience of getting off the bus a couple of stops early to go to Green and Blue or Bosman?s and then walk the last ten minutes home.

And there in the last two posts you have ED in a nutshell. A nation divided. (see also posts on CPZs, William Rose, any curry house you care to mention, etc). About the only thing that unites us is the brilliance of SMBJones.
I did start on re-useables ( ask the nappy lady) but my son is such a heavy wetter that I was constantly changing them and he would get leakages. Not nice having to change a damp new born baby quite a few time during the night, I kept it up until he was 5 weeks and he ended up in hospital with a serious UTI. Since we were in hospital for a few days it was disposables, and as he gets through around 15 nappies a day ( I have to change him up to four times in the night alone as his nappies gets very wet and heavy that it starts leaking if I don't and he poos so much also) I have decided to hold off the re-usables until he is weaned in a few months ( I have ittis and tots bots all waiting for to be used!). He shall be my eco warrior but just not right now.
Looks like this place is finally happening. :)-DWonder what will become of the 2 Off Licences either side of it & the Costcutters? When i told the Costcutter Manager of the Sainsburys opening a few months ago his face nearly dropped. They will really have to UP their gain now.Hope they survive the big boys.

xxxxxxx


But we can't all be creative shopkeepers, and some poor person has presumably bought the franchise at Costcutter

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
