Yes but in a strictly peripheral role... it's pretty rare anyone speaks to me at all during the working day, and that's just the way I like it.

I prefer Cheese Smuggler Lady Norwood

I think treat them as food additives, so a person looking after clients is a client-stabiliser or customer-emulsifier (E113 or E109) someone who procures new business is a 'permitted profit preservative' (E818) and you can style yourself 100% original, artisan, hand-fondled, organic ingredient (or E001).

I'm similar to you Jeremy, but the fuckers won't stop talking to me.

My company has "directors" - basically slightly senior but nothing special. A few years ago one of them was arrested. This got us a lot of bad press coverage during the trial because the papers quoted his job title as if he was on our board.


We have dozens and dozens of directors.

Big Head

Yeah and he called me big head, whereas it should have been 'dick head'


As it goes, I do wear the largest sized hat

Are there any Dilbert readers about? I used to work for Dilbert-reading IT techy types a long time ago and this thread has just reminded me about it.


Cannot seem to paste the images (again), do a search on dilbert job titles you get the picture :))


a random job title generator is what you need.


oh another thing this thread has reminded me of. Anyone who has watched Chewin' the fat will understand the "Good guy"/"wank". I know which one Jeremy is ;-)

    • 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.
