Waitrose for South Tottenham? Or shoddy reporting?

Hi folks,

I ran across this piece in the Guardian today and, since it name checks the area, I thought I'd pass it on for everyone to peruse.

Here's the salient passage which opens the piece:

"I just got back to the US after two weeks in London, where the property bubble is so hysterical, so much worse than New York's, that people talk about neighbourhoods falling like bits of France in the war. Clapton's gone; King's Cross has gone – even that nasty bit of the Caledonian Road where people used to totter about at 9am sipping White Lightning.

"Tottenham (rebranded "South Tottenham"), which just got a Waitrose supermarket, might be reaching a tipping-point. Or it might take another 10 years – who knows in this climate, where anything over one bedroom and under £500,000 is presented as an eye-popping bargain?"

I, for one, look forward to a Waitrose opening close by, so long, that is, as they stock White Lightning, a delicious and refreshing beverage whatever time of day. Oh, and if you bother to read the rest of the article know that I've lived in Leyton and dear N15 is a far better part of the world. I mean, Leyton doesn't even have a Waitrose.
