Wanstead’s new Co-op, reviews

As the new Co-op in Wanstead High Street continues its love-bombing leafletting of nearby houses, Wansteadium has invited reviews of the new shop.  First off the blocks – and second as well, actually – is Gabrielle Collard:

And the considerate community support officers have clearly thought this through – you can ring up to make an appointment, and they will follow from a safe distance so as not to raise suspicion. For vulnerable or nervous folk this could be a great thing. Just one question, though: who withdraws money from a cashpoint after they’ve done their shopping?
