I think it's about 40 for both.


That is when we women turn into cougars and then at 45, get fed up with that, resigning ourselves to either gathering cobwebs, or swinging!

I cant recommend getting a dog highly enough,not only are they great company,they get you up & out walking or running in the morning/evening,you get to talk to to people,especially if they are cute! [the dog that is!!] I have made loads of friends and met a wonderful girl,who became my girlfriend,alas long gone,whatever you do,do things you enjoy.I take my vicious,huge,but very cute Jack Russell down the pub if I want a chat or a bit of company.

Good luck

Yeah very true. It was suggested I should meet this girl who was a friend of a lady friend, I met her years beforehand and at that time given her the moniker, Bovine Girl.


I was not impressed and far too busy.

    • 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.
