Next EDF Drinks - This Friday - 9th Apr - at The Clockhouse


Recommended Posts

oh no I had said to myself that I was def going to come to the next drinks as Ive never actually made it along yet(hubby works eve's and problems with babysitters!)but we have family nearby now who can sit for us but I am away on the 9th! hope to meet you all at the next ones.

Moving to Surrey; shifting boxes, trapping fingers, sweating profusely, builder's bum, back ache, dismantling furniture, reassembling furniture (in the wrong room), pizza eaten off the top of a paacking crate washed down with a coke. That is not boring, MP.


Now living in Surrey....

I'll see what I can do*. I'll have been a full time dad for five whole days at that point....yaaaaaaay.



*re turning up fiiiinally. A crate full of coke goes without saying obviously.


Talking of off strip venues, there's this lovely little 'spot' down greendale way....

Thankfully they don't have a telly in the Clockhouse. Golf is a game played by men with small balls and ridiculous trousers.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
