Erm, so following on from HonaB...


SNOT



Sorry, I meant SNET


( that is a word right ? )


:-S

I just bemoan the lack of ambition.


We had 5 letter words.


Where did we go next in reaching for the stars and the Countdown Conundrum? Was it six, or even (dare I say it) seven letter words?


No, in the most breathtaking act of bathos ever witnessed on this forum, on this planet even, it was four mimsy little letters. I could do four letter words before I was four.


We landed on the moon, people!




edited because landing on moonpeople would probably hurt them

Please don't do that *Bob*, you contribute a lot to the forum.


Not wishing to insult anyone for starting a thread (of course its up to you and people can ignore ones they don't like) but....


I do think there was a collective groan to see yet another thread on a variation of 'change a letter'. I'm sure the response would be the same if someone started an equally similar thread on football or computer games, for example.


I know that you can ignore threads but imagine what the Lounge would be like if the majority of subjects were of repetitive stuff eg. 5 threads about football, 4 wordgames and 3 on golf and the same people posting on them intermittently. I don't think that anything else would have much of a chance to evolve if that were the case (in my opinion anyway).



Don't worry Katie, noone else can read this, just between you and me.

But don't take anything *Bob* has to say at face value.......ever.....It's all just his misanthropic way of getting back at the world for his hideous countenance and crushing inability to relate to people in the real world. It's genuinely tragic.

    • 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.
