Can you name the most unwanted Christmas present that you've been given from previous Christmas'?

Why you didn't want it?

And what you did with it?


Edit: 2017 unwanted presents, why not do a swap with someone else on EDF.





Administrator: I hope you allow this post, it's just a brain storm of mine.

I had one of the most ugly but surely one of the most useful: I had a UK made Brick with 2018 written on it!


Person that gave it to me says apparently they are in big demand these days so.. easy to give to someone else in case.

She also added everybody has an irish relative, a scottish friend or european family. Perhaps American friends or mexican friends maybe?...In the middle east also in big demand and all over the world really. Cataluna wants to separate, and surely some North Italians will be happy to "draw a line" above Rome!


I must say it is an ugly present, possibly most ugly ever, but surely one of the most useful in this world..

From my side i would have welcomed better some chocolate box and wine to share!!

Perhaps Pato, you could exchange your 2018 ugly brick for some choco and Wine, as you don't drink, though, non Alco stuff.

One question: who the f....is Joy Villa??

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
