Well, the evidence suggests that your lifestyle does not appear to warrant a dishwasher at all. Indeed, I have reasonable cause to believe that you live on Scoop's coconut ice cream



This is a vile and base calumny, and clearly libellous. I had mint choc chip at the weekend (paid for with one of mys sisters, getting my mother in change: still not sure who had the real bargain there :'(). Anyway expect my chap popping around to serve the writ any day now...


The new dishwasher is the dog's bollocks!

Given the available data on the now rather famous EDF. My on-line observations constitute "fair comment" in that they were fair and not motivated by malice. Moreover, not only do my observations fall short of being false, they also fail to discredit your reputation (such as it is). Had I referred to you as (but, for want of another example) a "greedy pig" now, that would have been quite another matter:))).

> around to serve the writ any day now...


Given your manifest lack of evidence, and the fact that your reputation has suffered no damage, it is my submission that you, the Plaintiff, have no case to answer. Notwithstanding this and in an attempt to demonstrate goodwill, I would be prepared to accept a small token from you in return for foregoing a counter-action against you for injury to my feelings which your - rather misguided - initiation of legal proceedings against me have caused to my egg-shell like personality. Under the circumstances, I feel that a double scoop (large) of SCIC(TM) (together with a sample of the mint choc chip) would be appropriate.

This was never in dispute. And, having now viewed the photograph, remains so. In any event, it is irrelevant as not pertinent to the legal matter at hand.

Dear Ms. Katherina Van Der Wotsit,


In consideration of your previous, rather gracious, loan to me of your chauffeur, I would be prepared to permit you to use the trademark SCIC.


I would stress, however, that this act of generosity on my part should not be taken as a precedent for the future - any abuse of which shall result in my immediately seeking an injunction against you with a view to obtaining damages for infringement of registered trade mark and passing off.

Plainly both unhygienic and what's more needlessly cruel.

Expect a visit from the RSPCA and the Health & Safety Executive in the near future.

I won't dob you in to the Animal Liberation Front for the moment, Christ no one deserves that.

Actually, this all reminds me of a (terrible) joke...


Woman has to go out...leaves house with her parrot inside.


Meanwhile, man comes along and knocks on door.


Knock Knock


Parrot: who is it?


Man: it's the plumber


Parrot: who is it?


Man: it's the plumber


Parrot: who is it?


Man: IT'S THE PLUMBER!


Parrot: who is it?


Man: jeez...you deaf? It's the plumber.


Parrot: who is it?


Man: IT'S THE F-UCKING PLUMBER!


At which point the plumber has a heart attack, collapses and dies.


[2 hours' later, woman returns home...sees dead man at her door]


Woman: who the hell is this?


Parrot: IT'S THE F-UCKING PLUMBER!

Two wee Scotsmen who cannae reach the doorbell.


Look, I blame the Catholic church, had I not been raised in it, I wouldn't have had access to the monthly Crusade Messenger magazine, which in turn furnished me with this sort of joke.


Though now I think of it, it may have been the secular Whizzer and Chips.


Or Wham! even.

Ahem...have I missed something? Where's the rest of the joke? I.e. what happens after:


Two wee Scotsmen who cannae reach the doorbell.

Keep up LadyM.

I said 'Knock knock'.

You said 'Who's there'?

I said 'Two wee Scotsmen who cannae reach the doorbell'

That was the punchline. Not a great or even a good punchline I'll admit.

But blame the Crusade Messenger. Or Whizzer & Chips. Or Wham!


I'm Pontius Pilating this one.

    • 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.
