Even Tesco has standards

Funny story from London...
My brother has just moved out of his flat in Brick Lane and made the short journey to a new pad in Dalston.

Dalston is fast becoming the new hippest place to be in London. Anybody who once thought it was cool to be seen in Shoreditch or Hoxton is now venturing further afield. This could be due to a few of reasons...

1. Shoreditch has become unbelievable expensive and its former residents cannot afford to pay for their overpriced clothing as well as their overpriced rent, not to mention eating & drinking in their overpriced bars & restaurants.

2. Shoreditch has become so ‘trendy’, it’s not actually ‘trendy’ anymore (if that makes sense).

3. East London has a series of new tube stations making it easier to get to.

Anyway, while Dalston is becoming the place to be, it still has a rugged exterior which is a constant reminder that, yes you are still in East London. This was made apparent to my brother when he tried to make arrangements to get his online shopping delivered to his door.

He has been a valued customer of Tesco’s home delivery service for many months at his previous address. When he moved there was a small issue with his postcode as it appeared not to exist on their system. Naturally, he queried this and gave them a call...

As it turns out Tesco no longer deliver to his postcode as it’s just too risky! Turns out that “Every little helps” is a slight stretch from the truth.

Still, there’s always Asda.
