They had a very similar question on QI - Grizzly Bear vs Lion

Apparently in the early 20th century in America they used to have these fights and the bear won every time. Its got a very hard skull and immense power in its arm to swipe the lion and crush its skull.


So i'm guessing polar bear vs tiger would be the same.

Apparently the largest Tiger is the Siberian Tiger that grows up to 350kg.


By contrast Polar Bears start at 350kg and grow to almost 700kg.


Seems like a no contest.


Despite have a polar sounding name, the Siberian Tiger seems to naff around in China, so the two probably don't cross paths.

Baby polar bear - "Dad, am I a polar bear"?

Dad - "Of course you are son, you're a very handsome polar bear".


Baby wanders off.


Baby polar bear - "Mum, am I definitely a polar bear"?

Mum - "Of course you are, and a lovelier polar bear never set foot in the snow. Mwaaah".


Baby trudges off pensively.


Baby polar bear - "Grandma, is it right I'm a polar bear"?

Grandma - "Of course you're a polar bear, look at you! You could be something else"?


Baby wanders away deep in thought.


Baby polar bear - "Grandad, tell me the truth, what am I"?

Grandad - "You, my boy are a polar bear, born and bred. What makes you ask"?















Baby polar bear - "I was just trying to figure out why I'm so f*+king cold"


Thank you, I'm here all week, look after your waitress, I get a share of the tips.

    • 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
