i didn't know about somerfield/safeways.i knew they were running the stocks down but not the reason.i like the m&s food though.am disappointed about goddards.
Of course they do nice bits & bobs, but is no place to do your regular shopping, especially for the elderly people who rely on it. M+S don't do loose fresh fruit&veg (which will be good for the greengrocers though!), only do their own brands food and don't do non-food stuff at all.
Yes i see your point. im trying to think whats nearest to their and i suppose it would be the co-op in charlton? no good for the elderly locals to walk to.
I finally gave up on the "ethical" Co-Op after I saw it'd installed a cash machine which charged £1.50 a withdrawal - it's the only cash machine for a good mile each way, save for the one at The Valley. It's a terrible shop, and the staff look like they've been sentenced to work there as part of their community service.
pie and mash is one of gods greatest gifts, but for true pie n mash (and a calypo orange drink with a straw), you have to go to Kelly's in Bethnal Green. FACT
As for Co Op / Somerfield blah blah, all true Charlton fans shop in Morrisons in Sidcup.,
If you have a co-op bank account their cash machine at the Village does not charge you.
I have taken to using co-op in village as I hate Scummyfield!
I'll probably use M and S more than I use Somerfield at the moment.
Has the TESCO express been approved? I know they are knocking down a big section of Woolwich to put UK biggest TESCO in; TESCO are also building a new Civic centre.... how did they get planning permission.
[cite]Posted By: Salad Spinner[/cite]What!? Today?!
That is bad news.
On a different note, in a couple of weeks the Somerfield at the Standard is becoming a poncy M+S food store.
is that the one on the site of the old roxy cinema ?...had many a great time there growing up...not least of which was the saturday morning pictures...'we are the boys and girls who line up....'
and talking of old cimenas, there was the odeon in woolwich where charlton got the old padded leather seats from and shoved them in the jubilee club...bleeding lovely to sit on they were, well worth the extra bit of money for the season tickets...

Yup. I only remember it as a derelict wreck, mind! The Odeon in Woolwich is now the HQ for a bible-bashing outfit which prefers fat cheques at collection time rather than spare change.

i can see what you're saying as marks is expensive but they do do some nice bits!!

I read yesterday that M&S get triple the returns of other supermarkets.
Is it? Best news I've heard all day, that Somerfield's terrible, although better than the Co-Op in Charlton (which isn't hard).
(Although I agree with you, since it'll probably become another poxy Starbucks or whatever)
It is a big shame about Goddards - will no doubt become another noodle or burger bar.
pipe down, its not like we're talking trains. :-)
what a coincidence!
