It seems to be cool to walk at a snail's pace in front of busy traffic. Not sure if this is because they are hard or they are on something. Ketamine? Funny that I seem to have three times the energy of some kids a third of my age.


Obviously a minority but please enlighten me.


The title is, of course, facetious. There are many postive things. Why do I need to put in a disclaimer?

Observed this quite a lot recently, including a couple of weeks back a guy (not particularly young, mid-20s) on Kennington Road walking out in front of a bluelit ambulance and forcing it to come to a complete stop and standing in front of it, only did a runner when the passenger went to get out. Is it a fad?

That's disgraceful, I'm genuinely outraged by this. There could have been a very sick person needing urgent treatment in that ambulance. People like this should be arrested with the he full force of the law for obstructing an emergency vehicle whilst on duty. This post has made me angry, I need to calm down. Grrrr.

    • 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.
