If that's true, then Liverpool shouldn't refer back to winning the most European Cups in English Footaball, United shouldn't refer back to winning 19 titles, Arsenal shouldn't should talk about going 49 games unbeaten, all of these are worthy achievements. Good luck to Citeh, they've waited a long time to get this far.

Very good performances from both North London teams...looks like AVB is starting to lose the plot

This I must understand. You are going to see Dulwich Hamlet AWAY and you are knitting a scarf in the colours of their opponents. In March! Do you plan on learning the local dialect too?


> Sorry...ahem...just had to share LOL!


Sharing confusion........now I understand THAT.


PS Will you be knitting a scarf for the friendly v Barca in April?

Oh dear Lord...you are right to be confused Mr. Medic. I think it's time I came off the Tramadol and Codeine. I must have been thinking of the scarf...when speaking of United...


Yes, am going to the DH away game against WT. Friends have a house in Whitstable; and are going to take me to that match. The WT scarf I am knitting is for one of my friends - a (now) Whitstable supporter. I shall be wearing my DH scarf (and cheering on DH) whilst my friend will be supporting WT.


Is that clearer? Gordon Bennett!


As for knitting a Barca scarf...you'll be asking me to knit a City scarf* next! (6) However, you are forgiven because your post made me laugh out aloud.

    • 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.
