Hi Mrs R,


Would the Honor Oak WI be interested in a practical talk/workshop on Alexander Technique? I can do a one off group session. I'm an Alexander Technique teacher based in Peckham Rye. My website is atwithkathyhulme.com if you want to have a look.


With kind regards,


Kathy Hulme

Good for you, suztq. Is it worth asking them how many people on their list actually come to any meetings or are still involved /live in the area? Perhaps their list could be pruned a bit to make way for the appreciable numbers of people who wan to to get involved.

We've got a fab WI in Nunhead! We meet on the third Monday of each month, and our next meeting is on the 18th September.


We meet upstairs at the Old Nun's Head pub (8-10pm), so you can grab a burger / wine before coming up to join us. I've been a member for almost 2 years and I really enjoy it. The women are fab and the meetings are always good fun. We've done cheese workshops, crafting, burlesque, comedy - all sorts!


You can email the committee on [email protected] or pop along to our next meeting to join up.

OK Ladies! - I had my meeting with the existing ED WI - all very positive! Could all of you who would like to register their interest in joining please private message me with their contact details! We are looking to hold an event towards the end of September beginning of October. I am soooo pleased!!!!!

The next Honor Oak WI meeting will be on Monday 4th September at our new venue of The Honor Oak Pub (1 Saint German's Rd, SE23 1RH) at 1930


We will be in the conservatory area downstairs, and look forward to hearing from one of our own members, Christine, who will be talking to us about Garden Design.


Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming anyone new or returning who wants to pop along!

    • 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.
