Well you have PGC, as anybody who knows you will attest.


Anyway, according to the midwife when my very beautiful granddaughters were born, it's not "ginger" or "red", it's "strawberry blonde" :)


Have to own up, I got very short shrift from my daughter when I called the first one "gingernut", never made that mistake again :))


Been drinking wine? Not me :))

My other half has dark brown hair, but when he doesn't shave for a few days some of his beard comes through ginger.


Another reason he should shave more often - not that there is anything wrong with ginger hair (I dye my hair to emphasis the reddish tones), but it looks odd having facial hair that doesn't match that on your head!

Am I odd, when younger, my friends all loved blond fellas, thought I was mad when said I prefered red headed or dark haired fellas.


My Dad was ginger, my hair was a very dark auburn between the ages of 11- 23 when became brown, I have a red headed daughter whose hair turned brown in her late 20s, a strawberry blond son and grandaughter and a ginger grandson.( I have always wanted a red headed g/son)


When daughter was younger she used to go out with her fella and they were often accompanied by boyfriend's sister and his best friend - all of them had red hair of varying shades

My beautiful red-haired friend with her red-haired husband, his two red-haired brothers and their wives (one of whom, disappointingly, is a mere blonde) and their collective brood of a total of 7 red-haired children recently visited Legoland together. Apparently people thought they were a conference of sorts.

    • 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.
