Re: Payless, Sydenham

I wonder if this is an issue for reporting to the Environmental Health Department as it concerns food. Also if food is rotting outside the premises it will attract rats. I was going to suggest similar when looking at this thread before. The Food Standards Agency gave it a hygiene rating of 2, back ...

Rod, would you like to explain why Mamma Dough is not facing the same opposition mindful it is next door to Nando’s?

Re: New Aldi approved in Bell Green

Just to give another example: The Nando’s - Great addition to the area in place of a large empty shop. Great addition in terms of a different dining experience (not too similar to anything else in Sydenham) catering for different people - I.e: family dining, teenagers or younger people which Sydenh...

May the new ‘stationery shop’ containing the new Post Office be WHSmith? If not, who is it?

Re: New aldi

I thought Sainsbury’s owned the Toys R Us site and therefore would not entertain the idea of letting a fellow grocer open there. At least that’s what was bandied about on here not so long ago.

The Aldi drawings above would suggest that is no longer true, if it was before.

Re: Mama Dough

Now that Nando’s is open, I thought I’d start a separate thread for any news on Mama Dough. There was no indication of works starting when I walked by earlier. Does anyone have any insight? For a start, can we update the actual name of this thread to ‘Mamma Dough’ which is how the restaurant chain ...

The Penge KFC does not sell Halal meat, there is a tool on the website that shows those that do, and Penge isn’t one of tho...

I just logged my opposition and didn’t receive the response saying the submission had been withdrawn.... it may therefore be worth emailing just in case it hasn’t being withdrawn! I feel strongly against yet more fast food restaurants in general for environmental and health reasons. It may well be ...

With respect @parker l think there are bigger fish to fry than the lettering on a Nandos sign.... [1quote="parker"]The grey looks smart but the grooves from the triangles within the lettering make it look as if something is amiss. Why can’t they sand the lettering down somehow, like this?...

Is how the sign currently looks the finished article? Prince?

Looks unfinished if that is the case.

They have Weatherpoons at motorway service stations now...... I know, they have one! Doubt the chances of one opening in a retail park around here are very high though.

Re: Poundstretcher in old co-op site

Yes, or one of the others, whose future has to be dodgy. Ever seen Next busy? I would suggest, though, that they take over the Sainsbury's cafe. It is a underused, huge space, and would be a huge success, I'm sure. While Sainsbury’s are offloading space to different retailers I’d doubt it would loo...
