I will. I'll even re-enact it for them.

There's been some re-runs of The Sweeney on TV recently.


Remember watching The Sweeney with my Dad and sisters many years ago!


After spotting an actor at Brixton tube during the past 6 months or so I've just realised it's an actor from The Sweeney but can't put a name to the face.


Dark hair, looks a bit like Patrick McGowan but I can't put a name to him.


Sorry just remembered this is for Sainsburys sightings!

That is bugaboo owners for you...

I've seen Miss Broom (sorry can't call her Karen - like calling your teacher by their first name!)

several times over the years am sure I've even seen her when I've been at work in A&E, but never said hello as do feel bit starstruck, especially as she still looks exactly the same as I remember her

in Johnny Briggs. A few years off, but I live in fear of overhearing bugglet saying "My Mum, who's a nurse..." :)

Then really DB&B the only correct thing to is to remove your post.


Though you did resist the 's at the end of Sainsbury, which is more than Sainsbury's have done - kowtowed to populism in my hardy opinion, so they have.

Actually you're alright, ignore my first sentence, you're a good cat.


Might copy this to the Old Fogies thread, though but.

Why sorry DB&B? Not sorry to me surely?

Though I reproved you initially, I talked myself round and saw the good in you.

To the extent of bestowing upon you the compliment of being a 'good cat'.

So 'no harm no foul', as any fule kno.


Peace.

    • 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.
