Sad? you need to get out more.. or perhaps stay in more ;)


Been on a number of hunts, my uncle is a Ghillie / Gamekeeper in Scotland and what he doesn't know about game hunting, fishing, culls etc probably isn't worth knowing.


so speaking from experience here. getting up at godawful o'clock and trudging though a cold wet heather covered moorland and squelching through knee deep peat bogs as a beater, so some toff from London (who's probably still hung over from a skin full of scotch from the night before) can shoot whatever you scare up / out ..


personally..


I'd rather sit at my computer desk and play games. Mild mannered mathematician computer programmer by day and crocodile dundee by night really isn't my scene.


your mileage may vary obviously ;-)

Mr Twirly - I don't suppose he could sort me out with a day's fishing on the River Tweed, Tay or Dee per chance?

Its a shame this thread is so old, as i enjoy shooting and hunting, particularly on Boxing Day and other big hunt days on the calendar.


Im not able to say where these take place because of the lefty types who try and sabotage these fine events nowadays, but if anyone is interested please send me a message.

    • 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.
