Yes, and a remarkably decent wine and beer selection. And they knew my daughter's name and always asked after her. Would Sainsbury's do that? Eh?

I had actually forgot about the beer selection, and that was why I was usually in thereYes, and a remarkably decent wine and beer selection. And they knew my daughter's name and always asked after her. Would Sainsbury's do that? Eh?
(my excuse is I moved out 4+ years ago and I'm sticking to that, nothing to do with subsequent beer consumption)

Here's a timely piece about the Stockwell War Memorial and Mural, Stockwell, south London.
Thanks to boohoo for providing some background on the mural!

Must fly!
Except it doesn't mark anywhere near all of them - most bombs were small incendiaries dropped in their tens of thousands. And they did just as much damage as the HE bombs. I was born just off Upper Tulse Hill in 1952 and as kids we used to play on the bombsites that ran all along the SE side of Upper Tulse Hill from before Somers Place to the Hop Poles, where the 60s flats are now. There are no bombs marked there at all.

Doesn't mark the bomb that hit the Rose and Crown pub in Crown Point killing 42 people - nothing seems to mark that big loss of life which is sad.

There's a public meeting on 24 November at 6pm in the Stockwell Centre to discuss the Sainsbury's application. The supermarket wants to sell alcohol from 7am as part of the plan to take over Jacks.

I see there's a new Sainsbury's local springing up at Clapham North on the old car yard next to the Clapham North. That'll be handy for people too lazy to walk the 100 yards to the one on the corner of Aristotle, or the further 100 yards to the superstore. ffs.
But people are lazy: people in this road drive the 200m to Sainsbury's

The Licensing Committee will be hearing on 9 December the application [pdf] from Sainsbury to sell booze from 7am when it takes over from Jacks. It looks like the application has been refined slightly with Cllr Imogen Walker suggesting that single cans can't be sold. No objection it seems though from Cllr Walker for the 7am sale. The Met Police are against it.
