Sydenham Co-Op
Sydenham Co-Op
When is the Co-Op opening? Anyone know?
The quickest what if ever...With apologies to Mummycat for adopting her image, any thoughts on making the Co-operative the greenest supermarket in Sydenham?
I'm a big fan of vertical wall systems. This is possibly the ugliest building in Sydenham and is now owned by the most ethical and greenest Supermarket in the UK...so What If...

why? The police generally come to you as it it...front offices (3 on this borough) are generally under-used.bigbadwolf wrote:And while you're at it, Lee - change the shop into a Police station that actually functions as a Police station instead of the community window-dressing we have on Dartmouth road. Sorry to ruin the party, everyone. But we really could do with one of those around here!

Because - underused or not - a Police station should project itself as a sanctuary for the vulnerable or fearful aswell as a symbol of authority. Not a place where a visitor could be greeted with a sign declaring that the staff have gone for lunch, so to speak.Why?

Not sure if I like the idea of police stations 'projecting themselves'!!
Lurking in the shadows when I submitted the first draft, eh Trawlerman? Well spotted.
.... Saw an ad for mobile [Nat West] banks... Thought the idea looked quite good.
I don't under any circumstances want to distract from the focus of OP's thread; but it's funny you should mention this, Trawlerman. Now, I know they're not commissioned by the same bank (or are they?) and I know their purpose is to drum up some much needed business but in my - often inflated - opinion the latest offering from Halifax bank that revolves around two gormless tarts sitting and spilling tea in a radio booth is f_cking woeful and induces unconfined annoyance and frustration.
But, I have a question.
Is anyone of the opinion that these adverts could be tweaked for the benefit of their disinterested audience?
I ask because I propose that instead of the ladies broadcasting intermission radio endorsements for the bank, being brought a cup of tea, spilling the beverage, then excusing their mistake in the form of a quick glance followed by a guilty giggle. The ad should play out as follows: Ladies broadcasting intermission radio endorsements for Halifax bank. A colleague is seen entering the presenters booth with a claw hammer. The scene then relocates to a suburban household where a housewife or metrosexual househusband can be seen listening in dumb struck shock to the dull thuds and petrified screams of a horrific, but live, hammer attack.
Or am I alone in favouring this alternative?
There was an "opening" this morning; at about 10.00 am. A bunch of local schoolkids in red jumpers, some staff and a photographer were assisted by a bored looking PR operative, some oversized scissors and a branded yellow ribbon. To get the right pictures it was held outside Whites, by the rabbit hutches. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and even the PR operative smiled, briefly.
The shop is a bit of a mish-mash but I'm sure we'll get used to it.
