EDF Drinks - Friday 11th February 2011 @ Liquorish


Recommended Posts

Please could someone answer Narnia's question ASAP. Only he is currently throwing toys out of his pram in most violent fashion on another thread. Furthermore, he has threatened to continue doing so until someone answers the above question! Lord have mercy!

Just for you Narnia,


I have just spoken to Graham (Manager at Liquorish). He has told me that, as Weegee has reserved the front area of the bar, this area will have the music sound set at a much lower level than at the back of the bar, where it is more lively. He also stated that Liquorish will be aiming for a restaurant atmosphere at the front (where the drinks will be taking place) in order that people can hear themselves speak.


I also took the liberty of asking him if, for some reason, we found the music too loud for our tastes, they would be willing to turn down the volume. The answer was a categorical "Yes, absolutely...it's your night". In other words, Graham is willing to bend over backwards to ensure everyone is happy on the night.


Hope this helps.

And I didn't mean to sound so down on the place earlier - especially after Weegee has made the effort to organise!


I'm sure everyone going will have a top night. and Graham is indeed a helpful chap. I'm just getting old and crotchety

Emmm, excellent work. Thank you. Does that mean that the people who go to the back bar are not concerned about hearing each other speak? Is it safe to be in the same establishment with such people if that is the case? Is that why you are near the exit?

    • 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.
