Hi

It's a bit of a long shot, but was wondering if anyone fancied travelling around SE Asia maybe around August/Sept time? I have been thinking about this for a few months now. I posted a while back as at the time I was looking into group holidays (explore etc...) but thought I'd post on here for some travel buddies and see if there was any interest.

Basically my friends have either done the whole SE Asia thing and others are not up for it this year. So, hence my posting...


About me: professional female, 30s, working in the NHS.


PM me if you're interested in chatting further.


Thanks

Hi dulwichflower - I have one of those lonely planet or maybe its the rough guide books to India if you need one? Also got the 'culture shock' guide to Indai too. PM me if interested in taking them off my hands.


Enjoy your travels - v.jealous, you'll have a F-A-B time for sure. x

My daughter did one of these treks 10,000 miles for ?2,000 all went well until the six who had planned it with her had all dropped out after a few weeks.

She carried on alone and travelled with others she met along the way, and had a great time, some of whom have dropped in to meet up with her since the holiday.

People are much more amenable and willing to chat when you travel alone, and the best thing is you decide who to talk to.

    • 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.
