    Anyone else watching this?pretty interesting and a really good concept on paper but it doesn't seem to be panning out in reality.

    Hi Starview, if you are interested in something vaguely similar in Dublin, there is the Dublin Food Coop http://www.dublinfood.coop

    Was in Pearse street for about 25 years before moving to Newmarket. It's only open on Thursday and Saturdays, with a Sunday market as well.

    Great community vibe, and works really well!

    I'm really enjoying the programme... I've missed last weeks, but things seem to have picked up in the most recent (last?) episode.

    Saw one a couple of weeks ago and thought it awful. They are all so bloody worthy that it grated on me very quickly.

    Also the numpty put down arrows all over the high street (and bins, lamposts etc.) with industrial glue. Amateur hour doesn't begin to describe it...

    I was briefly involved in one of these but people are arseholes and the reality was a bureaucratic nightmare of bitching and stealing.
