Hi Rosy we met yesterday as you were going to a friend s bday party

we met supermarket and we had little chat but didn t dare asking you for a phone number as i can be shy sometimes..:)

came back to the supermarket five min after leaving to ask your contacts but you and your nice bike were gone already:(

get in touch if you read this

I also experienced a missed connection several weeks back and I cannot get her out of my mind. Have you heard of 'quodar dating', you could always see if she's checked into the supermarket? They were on the radio last week. You may or may not find her but good luck anyways.

pato it seems to me that you need some tips on modern etiquette -

in the first place, your post reads as though Rosy missed her (train) connection

if she lives in West Norwood what are the chances of her being on this forum? realistically


Rosy with the nice smile is more personal than nice bike, as this sounds slightly envious

and where your true interest lies


It is not done to ask for contact details, offer your own.

And avoid being given a wrong/incorrect number.


You can only hope to see her again sometime - if she is friendly and personable you could

be one of many people she speaks to during the course of her week and your encounter will

not impact on her sensibilities


Do not haunt the supermarket and become a creepy stalker


You are assuming a possible connection - perhaps Rosy was being polite who knows, you have to be

fatalistic about these things.

    • 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
