Sounds like somebody has failed to "taste the difference".

i am guessing lindy lou may have a little local shop in east dulwich and may be indian? Is this the sainsburys local planned near the library? is the only grocers shop there the one with a post office in?

[LegalEagle-ish]

There are two more on the other side of the lights, plus a newsagent, flowershop and bakers which might be affected by a new Sainsburys local.

[womanofdulwich]

i think the newsagents stocks a range of porn magazines which are easily viewable to all customers, so I will be glad to go elsewhere.

I too prefer to buy my 'specialist'titles away from prying eyes.

Be good to yourself?

So Mum & Dad remembers the Itailian P.O.W. Camp On the Rye, I think I remember your Dad buying a purple Jacket & Trousres with a white Diamond on the back from one of them. He never went back to the Rye as the P.O.W. found out he had been paid in Monoponay Money. you must be 54/55 yourself now. Big Brother is about!

Maybe I'm being a middle-class effer for saying this. I think the Sainsbury's will drive at least the PO/grocery shop out of business but you have to ask why? Personally I would rather shop in a store with, on one hand, much wider choice, and on the other reasonable prices. I realise that supermarket chains keep prices low by buying in greater bulk and/or pressuring suppliers however those local shops charge a fortune for the same mass produced brands that Sainsbury's sell and with much less quality control over, for example; sell-by dates, store hygiene etc. Are Sainsbury's shareholders any less ethical than the store owners? I don't know. It's a dilema but this is a local version of the supermarket chain, not an out-of-town superstore with all its associated problems.

Perhaps I should stop feeding the trolls.

[sack donger]

The companies with most money will always squeeze those with less. On one hand the new sainsburys wll be good, however I doubt the sainsbury's share holders/ chairman etc will have problems feeding their families if their store is not there. The people who run the 3 or 4 very good grocery shops 50m away will do though. It makes me sad the way the world works sometimes.

On the historical point LindyLou mentioned earlier, J. Sainsbury was 45 and 70 years old at the outbreak of WWI and WWII respectively, probably not much use to the conscripting British forces at the time. I would also imagine that the Indian servicement who gave their lives did so more from concerned about protecting their fellow countrymen from the marauding Japanese than servicing the interests of a creaking old empire, the shackels of which they threw off a couple of years later.

[CupsCushions]

I have the up most respect for Lord Sainsbury not only a amiable chap but when it comes to setting a example Sainsbury became the first Briton to give more than ?1bn to charity this year.

There was a very substantial contingent of Indian (would have been drawn from what's now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) servicemen in the First War, when India itelf was not threatened. The King gave over the Brighton Pavilion as a hospital/ convalescence home for injured Indian Sevicemen - feeling that they would be more at home in its architecture. These men answered the call of the Empire entirely selflessly.

The list of winners of VC who came from the British empire is noted at this website

The number of Indian winners in the first and 2nd world war is extraordinary.

aaaaand back to the topic in question...

[Brendan]

To be honest I can?t see myself going to this Sainsbury?s for anything that I currently just nip to Val?s for. I may go to it for things that I normally drive to Sainsbury?s at DKH for but that?s business that was going to a Sainsbury?s anyway.

I was also unaware that the inner cities belonged to someone in specific.

[bagpuss78]

I cannot wait for the Sainsburys to open, having lived the plough end of East Dulwich all my life this is a welcome addition.

I am neither middle class or an oik (maybe an oik from time to time, but never middle class:)))
