Now, correct me if I am mistaken (am 100% certain I am not:))), aren't there now two outstanding matters which remain to be resolved?


1. Mr. Honaloochie Boogie was to eat his own head were "Milfwall" not selected as winner.


2. In a similar vein, that incorrigible computer HAL9000 was to consume Brendan's hat.



*alerts Interpol*

I think the...ahem...event should take place on Peckham Rye...perhaps at Katie1997's picnic.


I think we should sell tickets...the money could be used for things like packs of frozen peas, morphine, artificial limbs, heart and lung transplants...


What do people think?

I think thats a FAB idea. Could I please have some VIP tickets for the head/hat-eating event?


I hope the humble frozen pea can be found in ED if thats what you're raising the money for ;-)

I thank you Katie1997 (aka Ms. Katharina Van Der Wotsit) - you are a good sport. Of course VIP tickets shall be despatched to you forthwith - I am certain DJKQ (aka "the Queen") will have no problem with that (*clicks fingers and signals to butler*). We shall ensure you have the best ring-side seats available.


Yours,


Esme xx

*looks in horror*


How on earth did I miss this? The audacity!


I cycle...hope that answers your question.




*hopes Narnia will never bump into Lordmuck who might spill the beans over the 2 occasions - within a period of 2 weeks - when ?800's worth of damage was caused to his then brand new car when wife attempted to get it out of an awkward spot. Wife now banned from taking car to that location.:-$*

I was being metaphorical, or was it metaphysical.

Or I was pissed and quoting Dickens.

It was definitely one of those.

*considers Mr. Boogie's defence and decides to allow it on the ground of previous injustice*

Which hat are you going to be wanting?


Only I?ve just got a few and I?m pretty attached to the tweed flat cap, the canvas cricket hat is useful for days out in the sun, the grey fedora goes very well with my grey slim fit 3 piece and the Powell Peralta ?ripper? 1980s reissue mesh-back baseball cap is, well it's a, Powell Peralta ?ripper? 1980s reissue mesh-back baseball cap so you?re not getting your hands on that. Not no fucking ways china.

    • 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.
