Sorry missed this - reminded me of the first time I experienced WH in the arts though - circa 1974 on Monty P Live at Drury Ln. in a sketch called communist quiz -


"We are deeply privileged and honoured to have with us in the studio tonight, Karl Marx, the founder of modern socialism and author of the communist manifesto. Vladimir Ilyich Ulianov, better known to the world as Lenin, leader of the Russian revolution, writer, statesman and father of modern communism. Che Guevara the Bolivian guerilla leader and Mao Tse Tung, chairman of the Chinese communist party since 1949.


And the first question is for you Karl Marx... the Hammers. The Hammers is the nickname of what English football team?"

From Rod Stewart's You're in My Heart...


You?re an essay in glamour

Please pardon the grammar

But you?re every schoolboy?s dream

Chelsea 2 Aston Villa 1

Liverpool 1 Fulham 2

Manchester City 3 Reading 0

Newcastle United 2 Queens Park Rangers 1

Southampton 2 Sunderland 0

Swansea City 2 Manchester United 3

Tottenham Hotspur 1 Stoke City 2

West Bromwich Albion 2 Norwich City 1

West Ham United 0 Everton 1

Wigan Athletic 1 Arsenal 3


Arsenal 2 West Ham United 0

Everton 2 Wigan Athletic 0

Fulham 2 Southampton 0

Manchester United 3 Newcastle United 0

Norwich City 1 Chelsea 2

Queens Park Rangers 2 West Bromwich Albion 0

Reading 0 Swansea City 1

Stoke City 2 Liverpool 0

    • 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.
