I wouldn't say there's a one size fits all rule for what single men think. It's fair to say if a woman is into their 30's and beyond, and hasn't been married/had children, you'd presume that's something they'd be after a bit quicker than someone in their 20's etc.. But then to be fair, if a guy is in his 30's and hasn't been married/had kids, he's probably starting to think about that kind of thing anyway. I'm 30, and it's not something that would scare me off these days as it's basically what I'm looking for too, but then I'm sure there are guys my age and older who aren't quite ready for that stuff yet.

Yes we do :-)


But then they are probably viewing us with suspicion also.

(i.e. "is he just another commitment phobic time waster...")

Good grief, this thread has taken a funny turn. I know a few 35+ women who would like to meet someone but aren't looking for a husband, children or 'commitment'. I know a few 35+ men who are desperate for a wife, children and er, 'commitment'.


They don't live in ED though ;-)

If you like privacy think the concecuences don't intimidate women with devices or harass them how many people in the area do you think will agree in keeping chickens in the area will see.

Arsenal are heading for the drop at this rate (maybe not, but I can't remember them having a start this bad for years).


My Toffee Boys had a great result today against Wigan...3-1 and Millwall only managed a draw against West Ham. Better than a loss I guess.

Wow that bad.


The atmosphere was good as always at the Den (and there was no trouble like two years ago). I thought Millwall played really well in the first half but tailed off in the middle of the second of course. 7 points from 7 games though is a bit disappointing......it was the first points West Ham have dropped so far.

    • 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.
