I can park very well. I can squeeze my motor into the tiniest of spaces. I've learned to judge size perfectly having been lied to by men on that subject very frequently.

No one can drive as well as me. I passed my test first time and then passed the advanced driving test with flying colours.


Everyone else on the road - apart from me - is simply rubbish at driving.


But I can't park anything larger than a Fiat 500.

Never had an accident Katie ?

I love those cute Fiat 500's

A.C

Yes I have had an accident - I remember it vividly.


I was 17 and perfectly able to drive (although officially a learner) when my idiot fusspot stepfather who was sitting in the passenger seat of our estate car barked instructions on how to parallel park, making me lose all concentration and trashing the indicator lights of the car in front as a result.


Naturally I felt that it was all his fault except I was the one who had to pay for it (6)

A Fembot, in other words. And RosieH I do hope you haven't forgotton your false lashes.........or maybe she's born with it..........

    • 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.
