Perhaps we should alternate week nights with weekends? Inevitably some people will have preferences.


Maybe the next one in a few weeks time (mid-Feb)?


Would people prefer another venue? - Huguenot did announce that the Black Cherry was a "girls bar" and that he went in there regularly.......


Would the BC be that good alernative?


How about week commencing 19/2?

I think that having it on different nights would be good, differnt people have different other engagements.

I would quite like Fridays as there is less unmissable things happen that night. How about Fri 16 Feb.


Of course people who value their (photographic) privacy might prefer a date I am busy :)

24th wpould be good for me! Would the BC Be a little small? I think now that word has got out and that quite a few of us could not make the last one. I feel that this one will have a geater reponse. This may be a little contravercial, but what about the EDT? Ive never really been that into the EDT since it had a face lift. However, it would be able to handle the huge response we WILL get.

Nice work Georgia.

It is of course open to allcomers. Last time we had about a dozen in total, only half of whom were forum regulars.

Of course reading the forum helps in finding out about it in the first place ;?)

I look forward to meeting you Dany and the rest that couldn't make it last time.

    • 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
