I do wonder if there are more about. We've had one in the garden this year for the first time ever, to our knowledge at least. And I found one in the fro.t garden compost bin yesterday. Never had one in there before. And no, we don't put cooked food in it, just plant and veg waste.

I?d rather have rats than people spitting everywhere, or leaving chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. The amount of take away food thrown on the streets when bins visible also makes me angry. If you don?t like rats, don?t chuck your crap on the floor.

really chuffed at the thought that new councillor McAsh's top priority for action would be catching rats on Goose Green.

any other helpful suggestions to improve our local area? maybe councillor McAsh could also pick up after any local dogs with negligent owners in his spare time?

Working near Lincolns Inn Fields it's a lovely walk (or run).


Good to hear the rats obeyed the injunction.

Did the rats leave in disgust at the presence of so many lawyers?

I'm deeply hurt!!!


Sadly, I think it was more of a death sentence than voluntary exit.

Or maybe they could pop round to yours and supply you with a tutor to sort out your constant post editing (evidently caused by not being able to spell properly).

Just joshing, I have three of them in the family (lawyers not rats).

Nice try (again) with the fake comments, Louisa - the Trump administration would be proud of you. You replied to my posting timed at 12.12 today and as you can see - that post has not been edited! Embarrassing?

Yes, you are embarrassing. You are constantly editing posts and then making out that it was for ?other reasons?. Very tiresome robbin. But I?m not the spelling police, so unlike you I won?t continue to raise it all the time.


Happy editing!

to be clear - if you had posted about the risk to children and dogs from bad driving in ED, or the pollution from school-run drivers in ED, or the broken glass on pavements near the multitude of pubs and restaurants in ED, or the easy availability of junk food (to children) or chicken bones and other litter (to dogs) in ED, i would have been delighted to join forces with you in bothering new councillor mcash


complaining to the councillor about a rat on goose green - come on!

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
