Stop , my will is wilting ( see I nearly said "willy" there ) and if missus W**F catches me flirting with Miss Hope, with her marzipan drawers....


Well I'm for the high jump ( believe me the bar is set very high this time )


I love your poem, it made my teeth ache with joy



Tell, do you think she sleeps on a giant pink marshmallow ? her bedside lamp, a huge fizzy flying saucer & when she gets up she has a pair of slippers made from those "sweet shrimps" hollowed out for her dainty feet


Do you, I know I do.....Oh Miss Ho.....



*slap slaps own face*



OH STOP ME NOW FCOL

I don't doubt you Huguenot. My comment was aimed at Woof who has been rather naughty on this thread, even for him, and at Brum, for suggeting some kind of love rival situation. Again, rather naughty.


I tut in their general direction.

I too...


..went in there today "hoping" for a taste of the delicious Miss Hope


Sadly she wasn't to be seen, let alone "licked" ( or she hid under the counter ) either way I bought some " lick-orice comfits " as a substitute


Now if "she " is half as tasty........



"I'LL BE BACK......"

    • 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.
