Noisy police helicopter over ED spies lost cat eating dog poo on proposed M & S site


Recommended Posts

Attempted to reach Dulwich Park as per your suggestion, however the buses were on diversion. There was hell on Barry Road too. Decided to walk, but the bees on Lordship lane were a put off, as were the rats escaping from folks' gardens.


Heading for the Eurozone.

Kid v Dog match venue changed at last minute as stewards all working at Glasto. New stewards brought in from West Dulwich and Nunhead forums, new venue is shed (still full of cats - no dolphins - but they are being tempted out with elderflower cordial) contestants will be fighting on trampoline and judge will be all-seeing-eye provided badly chopped onions don't cloud vision. Net ball outside for little englanders (refereed by huguenot).


Good news - date with honaloochie for winner.

Bad news - it's in the drawing room.

HonaloochieB's date - with a musical genius (later to perform at Glasto) - went exceedingly well. The day kicked off at a free beekeeping course and culminated at a Betting Matters Night at the new Spanish Tapas Bar where the romantic Hona indulged in his quirky habit of breaking out into summer songs.


As for Huguenot's referee-ing skills, his lack of patience meant that the kids ended up getting locked inside the Golf Locker Room, whilst he decided that he preferred to advise a certain Major on the applicable laws on Mergers, Takeovers and Acquisitions. The kids were found unharmed by The Red Devil who had returned from The Quiet Room and were, frankly, relieved they hadn't ended up in the Chapel of Rest.


Meanwhile, the forumite who had a birthday danced to the music played by the virtual DJ and "another bloke" became a London memory as Admin. decided to issue him with a ban.

It was nothing to do with my patience. Any normal person would have flipped their lid after a ridonculous, repetitive and witless 5 letter word game, that some shonk turned into a four letter word game after I'd insisted it was against the rules of netball.

    • 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.
