You mean..


The Mansion in Gypsy Hill ?



Ermmm, it's OK-ish if you like that cocktail & piano , large glasses of white wine "vibe"


Oh & people popping back & forward to the loo's "all-night-a-thon"


Mind you that's happening most place, it's like the land of the living dead out there



"No honestly, I always have this grey pallor & talk incessantly"



Cheers

I know...


I went to a very very nice garden party the other day ( well on paper )


Father made a touching speech ( though what the f*ck the child made of it ) with his jaw to one side


Lovely food & tons left over as half the people "just not hungry" though you could have made a landfill site with all the empty bottles.


All staffed with waiters & servers etc, very cool & urban london vibe ( bletch )


By 10.30 more "orders" were literally being delivered by "I'm the drug dealer" who was summoned like a pizza delivery company


I couldn't get a sensible word ( yeah me, ha ) out of anybody & left by 11.00


It resembled the "Thriller" promo vid but with paunchy middle aged couples & gay men dancing around



It were class ( if that's your bag )

    • 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.
