Nat they are not as big as the stores/chains you mentioned because there are not many down south which is why not many here have heard of them, they are big up north and in other areas of the country. branded products are cheaper in wilkos.

Hi Ram

I have used your shop for many years as have members of my family and it would be a real shame to see your business affected by a new tesco, im sure tesco would not provide the personal service that you do.

I have used Elachi a lot for delivery of their food, never been to the restaurant itself but the food is lovely slighty more expensive [only a bit] than other places but worth it in my opinion. The food always tasted fresh and well flavoured. They do a reward thingy as well for every takeaway meal y...

i am just wondering if there is anything that has more of a recognisable sydenham connection? Fair enough, I agree there should be a debate about it. No-one, including myself, would be happy if a symbol was just imposed on them without any consultation. Who knows if it'll ever happen anyway, there'...
