I thought ( for a moment ) you'd shanked him.


( over a boundary issue, which itself is almost a bookish pun )

Hmmmmm,


The individual walked towards the group, with everyone standing back smiling and happy to prohibit obstruction; then having walked 20m... decided to come back to the group and proceed to moan even though a genuine apology was provided albeit not really needed ** thats an English thing me thinks **. This is a path 4-times wider than a pavement.


Replace the small jogging group with local mothers and prams having a chat, or the many football groups seeking sanctuary on the path to swap boots for trainers, or even the local Thai Chi group that use the path outside the caf?. This person was clearly having a bad day and looking to take it out on any object in 'it's' way. The Rye is a fantastic place for the community, blessed with different forms of activities, young, not so young and full of different abilities.


Bottom line, 'don't sweat the small stuff in life!'

Gosh, even Sydenham gets the Endz treatment. Last name check I saw was in Alan Bennett's Three Stories.


( I wonder if that's upper or lower though )


WOW.


Nette.:-S

fuck dat shit man with ma other endz hoes on the back seat


(clearly that spelling suggests a selection of garden implements, which is much more in keeping with ED's organic roots, but without the E, it would read more like hoz on the backseat, and I'm not sure what that would be)


nice work *bob*

    • 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.
