Scrumpy...If I want to get trollyed I'll choose something that's fizzy that doesn't look like a kidney disease urine sample thank you


The Wurzels...enuff f*cking said


The fact that what once felt like a vaguely alternative part of the country is now packed to the rafters with yuppie scum, their restaurants and their kids celebrating getting their nowadys p!ss easy A Levels en mass.

Err...considering your opening salvo...why?

Find yourself a nice pub around midday and drink a healthy gallon of Bitter & Twisted. Repeat dose daily. That should get you through. Just don't hit any Hoorays on your way back to the hotel.

Reversing a trend..........shure you boys had employment there for centuries keeping the local rabble down.

I'll see you down there Quidsy. For I'm going fly fishing and for that the west country is superb.....and if you know where to go, not a hooray or Jamie Oliver diffusion in sight. Just me, a burbling river, the wildlife and hopefully a nice meal and a birthday pint with at the Arundell Arms after....:)-D

Aaahh - the Arundell Arms.I used to live within 3 miles of there, and enjoy a spot of fly fishing too. Now full of envy.


Some other positives for the West - North Devon - scruffy, agricultural, beautiful walks and seasides. A few really good restaurants, builders that not only turn up but also clean up after they finish work, my first married home, the birth of my two sons, one day I'll return on the proceeds of selling off in ED.

So Quids, if you are complaining about the 'West', what's the Emerald Isle......the Wild West?

I found some pure uadulterated (unpolished) beautiful pieces of real amethyst on a beach in Cornwall.


There are fabulous tin mines (yes, really) Clotted cream teas. Pirates and shipwrecks. Famous Five country. Rolling hills. Sea.


Stay away from Padstein and you'll be fine (tu)

    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set 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.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
