I just think he is so COOL!


I once saw Terry Jones in Le Chardon a few years back and then I nearly ran over him by Cheners bookstore a few years ago. (Not my fault!! He was jaywalking!). I love the Pythons, and resolved that if he was ever at the end of my car bonnet again I'd flash him to get his attention (a la Denise Van Outen) but he decamped to North London! Someone must have warned him of my plan to get the 'girls' out!

indeed, Maria Lawson's debut video was recently filmed in the EDT. Watch it at:

You can see Cafe Nero and the Number 37 bus!

Just had a look at that tomM, many no. 37s trundled past but the most disturbing thing - and going off subject here - was this post by a fan:

Dear Ms Polly Dorner,


I wonder if you could enlighten me. I am relatively new to all of this wonderful technical jargon - does 'lol' mean 'lots of love' or 'laughing out loud'? My husband James has not come home from the rugby yet, and has sent me a text. I am not sure if he is in trouble with me......


Linda Barker lives on Underhill Road, you can spot her house(s) a mile off. Perhaps she made off with a job lot of cream paint from the set of one of her make-over shows.

    • 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.
