I'm a bit worried about this.
Lidl have stopped their "Half Price Weekend" offers as well.

What we need is one of these

Lidl and now Iceland are trying to go upmarket. Iceland is now doing posh food. Doesn’t get a lot of interest in Brixton from what Ive seen on the checkouts.
 
Oh lord, anyone seen this? Aghast...
Leader of Lambeth Tory councillors is being investigated after it emerged he runs an 'eviction specialist' firm in a borough where 1,800 families are homeless.
Revealed: Tory runs 'eviction specialist' firm in borough with 1,800 homeless

A statement on its website boasts of having "an impressive near 100% record in getting possession for landlords at the first hearing."

Another page with a list of legal costs is entitled: "Evicting tenants - as Easy as A, B, C"

He is on the Norman Tebbit boot boy wing of the party. So not surprised. Tories are such wonderful human beings.:rolleyes:

Fear not my sweet Prince when you hear the beep you can now shop for Lidls' new Pick of the Week - 4 veg and 4 meat discounted it's a god dam Dale Winton epiphany :thumbs:

ALDI super sixed all the Christmas veg Christmas week which basically forced every other supermarket to follow suit. Thankfully Lidl have now learnt that not everybody can or want's to shop there on a Sat/Sun and it's a bit silly discounting only on what would normally be your busiest 2 days of the week :facepalm:
 
If I had one complaint about Brixton, it would be the lack of an Aldi

There's enough Lidls and there's only so many power tools and chainsaws you can buy with a loaf of bread and get away with it.

Aldi are launching an online non grocery delivery service about now so......

Personally I'd get rid of Tesco on Acre Lane as it's been utter shite for years.

It would make an ideal site for more buy to let flats to be bought off plan by investors in Penang.

They could kill 2 birds - and redevelop along the lines of the Stockwell Lidl.
 
I've posted some photos from Offline at Market House on Friday. It can be a really tough venue to get going but we had one of the best ever nights there ever. Which made for a nice change! And I played T Rex :D

Friday 29th January 2015, DJ night at Offline Club, Upstairs at Market House, 443 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, London SW9, with DJs playing ska, electro, indie, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly and skiffle
 
Went to the ex 99p shop now a Poundland. And its crap now. Lot less food and the cheap stuff that 99p shop shop used to do.
 
I'm guessing they've put the prices up....

Whilst you may think that you are getting a bargain on branded goods.......

What you are actually buying is specially made for those shops :eek:

Those shops also figure heavily in Workfare schemes so people forced to work by the DWP and wanked over by IDS :facepalm:

I thought that had been stopped.

But recently talked to someone I know who has been unemployed for a while and is doing some kind of workfare scheme in an Oxfam shop.I was under the impression Oxfam was all about volunteers and giving ones time freely.

Some of the 99p stuff was end of lines stock so worth it. Sign of the times that people look for bargains.
