two thugs snatched the bag of the pie lady on Northcross road at end of day and ran off down Lacon Road. Her bag contained all her takings, her phone, purse....everything. SHe was so distraught. Felt for her so much. I hope she's OK. She couldn't even lock up her van. The sound like the utter lowlifes who mugged Mr Ben on this forum at 2am. Awful. Please check bins and gardens in Lacon road in case they dropped the bag.
The guys ran off in the direction of Peckham down Crystal Palace road or one of the neighbouring streets. If you live around there please keep an eye out for her bag- she was very upset and somethig back is better than nothing. We think that the two guys were spotted on Lordship Lane outside the old video store 5- 10 mins earlier, both were in dark hoodie/ sweatshirt type tops, and dressed all in dark. They were acting suspiciously on Lordship Lane which was why i clocked them. Be vigilant People
they should try and make a decent living and see how it feels they will be punshed bastards i bet the poor thing stands in the cold aswel i dont know the pie lady but it is very hard these days but anyway have a nice xmas dont let them ruin your xmas god will see to them
yes the pie lady puts all the effort, not to mention financial investment and risk, into making her delicious pies, which she stands in the cold and sells all day saturday- and some little s***bags wipes out all her work, all her profit, in one moment to shoot up his stupid arm. However her pies spread good karma in our tums and freezers while we hope the little sod overdosed himself.

Hi


The Pie Lady would just like to say a big thank you to all those people who have showed such kindness and offered support at a very difficult time. To all those people who gave chase on Saturday night we nearly had them !!!!!! lets give her all our support and encouragement in the next few days

What a horrible experience for her, and gutting to lose all the takings. What a coward to pick on a woman on her own. I will certainly be needing a pie or two very soon I think. Maybe the best way to show our support is to buy one of her delicious pies and hopefully make up for lost takings.


(But I do agree with Keef. I don't think wishing them dead, by any method, is helpful)

    • 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.
