Fortunately, I work in a hospital several miles away, but I know the good people at Kings and they certainly don't deserve that.

I'll be passing the Plough on my way home about half past midnight, so I'll look out for you stumbling onto the road.

Well I had a job interview today, and apparently got pipped to it*, so I'm going to get w**kered tonight! :)-D


* I may have been crap, but he said there was nothing to worry about, and on another day would have got it.... Makes me feel loads better!

We must stop meeting like this.


It was basically the same sort of job I do now (in social services), but a bit of a better journey, and a couple of gand more... Not overly bothered, not sure it would have been good for me. Just really want to get out of my current place, been there far too long!

I just saw the amount of booze my boss has got for our work party tonight so I may be some time! If you see a Kathy Burke lookalike falling over and trying to climb in a window at the Plough, please put me out of my misery and send me home!!

I wobbled in after our office Xmas do - so decided to ease off. Good evening and merry time had by all. Last orders at 12 - why?


So I wandered home and others went on to Liquorice. I bumped into AnnaJ as I walked home, just home from the late shift at the people repairers.

I wondered if anybody would bump into Annaj on the way home..


Bren you were grand - obviously full of the good stuff but no embarrassments


I am sooooo glad I said no to Liqourice tho - today would have been a write-off. But yeah 12 o clock orders seems wrong these days


Cheers to Paul for doing the decks, Keef for a bit of the ole Piano. Good to meet monica and the others as well and a big shout (see, still down with the kids) to Joe for making a special effort to get down to the drinks as well


And didn't all you ladies look FINE last night?


If Polly is reading, say thanks to her husband as well. He took a weight off my mind at the end of the evening ;-) Cheers Matt


Sorry you holiday is coming to an end Piers but we've missed you so come back lad and lad-een

I played piano? Oh dear God, I must have been very drunk, my fingers don't work very well when I'm drunk which is why I try to avoid guitars at these times.... Piano not a good plan!


Wish I'd joined you in saying no to Liqourice, I went and straight away remembered why I hate the dump, and I left... Which in fairness was probably a good thing for me and everyone with me!

      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
