Lower ... lower ... lower ...

Is there no pit-bottom to Southwark's scumbaggery? How far down can they go?


Breaking news: All - ALL - working staff in Peckham Rye and Park have been laid off. Not the managers - COURSE NOT! lol.


Not the so-called wardens, those lycra stormtroopers, rushing in to hassle dog owners before rushing off again. They are on seriously-seriously high money.


No, it's the actual workers, the friendly helpful guys you see around. And they only found out themselves because an email was sent to them by mistake!


I see the events of the weekend are still very much under discussion on this forum. Everyone I meet says the Sunday event was "horrible" and "frightening". Anything to say now, wallyloudmouth and all the other trolls who said I was being - what was it? - 'narrowminded' and 'emotional' in my apprehension. The grass will take months to recover. The amplified bomp-bomp-bomp disturbed residents miles away. The bushes of our park remain full of human excrement. And they're taking their sweet time to get pack up and shove off, have you noticed?


Don't wait for our spineless local councillors to say anything. The silence remains total. If people in this area want to prevent this becoming a regular nightmare they're going to have to get off their chuffs and TAKE BACK CONTROL of this rogue local authority.

    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • 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
