Hubby has just been and asked the Thames Water guys (who are now on site) what's happening. They're switching the water supply off and hoping to have it fixed by 9.30pm for the water to be back on shortly after if everything goes to plan - alternatively, worst case midnight.



Fingers crossed they don't come across the sort of problems I do when embarking on DIY or it could be days! ;)

Just had a look, there are 4 or 5 guys working on it now....well definitely 2 are working on it, the others are looking on. Saw the stream on goodrich road coming home around 5pm....immediately filled kettle, washed baby bottles and put some water in some pans...was expecting this. I really hope they fix this as quickly as they did the other week.

Your lucky you still had water...... We are in Goodrich and it's been off since @1.



Annoyingly the Thames website shows a leak on Friern Road by Goodrich, and LL by Goodrich so I assumed they were the cause of the problem! It was only when walking to the Dr's I saw the water gushing on Goodrich! Fingers crossed it's back soon.

    • 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.
