Really? Wow, that shows me how little curry I eat over a hotter summer.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Tried Saffron recently on the recommendation of people on here. More interesting than Khans.

Tick tock.
I've said it before and I'll say it again
- Zest of India up in Loughborough Junction; good curry, good ingredients, proper cooking, lovely people. Give it a try.

20+ ten second snippets of Dancing Queen from the Lido last night!

I'm going to watch them over a coffee in the cafe next Wednesday. With a large macintosh coat and some sunglasses on. Will report back.

I'd fight back if I were you. Get a speaker on the window and play snippets of the Crazy Frog soundtrack at the same time, until it occurs to them to lower their volume.
It's under the new student accommodation. So like Sainsbury's it will have an entrance on both Milkwood Road and Herne Hill.

Convenience (and the power of mass buying) is always a hugely persuasive attribute, and that's why these supermarkets almost always win out in the end.

That crappy overpriced Sainsburys is apparently the third highest grossing (by square foot) of their shops in the country. It's very convenient for cutting through to get to the bus stop though.

Come to West Norwood and you will see a Sainsbury's, Tesco and Co-op supermarket virtually within metres of each other.

Or Brixton, where we have 2 Sainburys within 50m of eachother.

Yeah, I know, I do leave my house occasionally
It's right next door that is a bit
You can make a (poor) argument that someone getting off the train and walking up towards Brixton road won't walk back to the sainsbury's by the tube, so there is another one. But the right next door thing seems an odd decision

It's not done for the customer's benefit, but for competition reasons. Hotelling's Location Model innit.

Technically South London Dance School is between them (what was the post office).
I'm glad the piano's back.

There are more customers than Sainsbury Can deal with. The shop is constantly overcrowded, queuing, slow. Divvy the custom by two and there is enough profit for both.Yeah, I know, I do leave my house occasionally

Never understand why people queue in this Sainsbury's when other shops are open nearby. Try going to Costcutter on Halfmoon Lane opposite. More choice of many products, including fairtrade/organic. A lot of products are cheaper than sainsburys. Ok less fresh food and less ready meals - but really friendly personal service (they keep a particular pickle I love in stock for me) and no queue.
I hate the place, although if it isn't so busy in future,I might be tempted in by the convenience. It's still too expensive anyway.

Far too expensive. And they nag you to scan your own shopping even when you say 'no' I hate them
