Recommended Posts

Hi, I am posting for a mum at my sons school. She is a lovely woman who has truly survived life in the past two years that I have known her. She has 4 sons who also attend school with my boys. She discovered that her two middle boys were severely autistic around the time that her husband lost his job and she was pregnant with number 4. After sometime of financial hardship and eventually being homeless (some nights in which her entire family were sleeping on a night bus - I am not joking!) they are finally in a shelter and now able to move out on their own, with deposits and guaranteed housing benefit of ?1800 per month. This mama works so hard and needs a break after all that her family have been through. She has been consistently getting her kids to school on time and keeping them safe throughout her hardship, I want to help her. I'm posting here in case there is anyone out there who has ideas for a suitable long term solution. Our school is in SE4, but I am in Nunhead and it would be great to have her family near by. Her name is Lara and her number is 07424 314304. She is not on EDF, but I have told her I'd post something here, so if you contact her, please tell her Sebastian and Charlie's mum sent you.

    • 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.
