What would you think if on my commute to work I took out of my handbag an electric shaver, toothbrush and my false teeth and finished preparing myself for the day ahead while travelling on the tube/train? Mad, I'm sure. So how come so many women spend their journey applying make-up? And it's usually the pretty ones. If you want to set off to work semi 'dressed', do the make up at home and come in your jammies. Then get dressed. It would make the journey for some of the rest of us that more interesting.


BTW, yesterday, while following the hoardes off trains to the next one/exit, twice I nearly crashed into a female's rear as she suddenly stopped to read a text message. Shouldn't people have to take a 'walking test' if they are to own a phone? I think so. That was dangerous walking in my opinion. Good job I was able to do an emergency stop on both occasions but if I'd been going faster it could have been nasty.


I trust this post is on the right thread Admin.

Err, if trains (as well as buses) supplied cheese and commuters carrying cream cheese canapes could commonly be seen then frustrating females finished with their face who then turn to thumbing texts would be risking cream cheese to the posterior which (concerned about their appearance as they clearly are) might be a suitable deterrent.


I have long held the belief that almost all foods are improved through the addition of cheese (or that there there are very few that are not). Could it be that I've missed the wider point, that cheese improves all things not just food...?

You may be aware that a fellow CheeseRangeronce had a penchant for much Fromage.


NETTE:-S

Thanks I was not - before my time. I wonder is there any original thought on the EDF or are we destined to go on repeating our little lives and thoughts round and round reliving the same conversations day after day.


Have you just pointed out a glitch in the Matrix...?

Dear Lady, I beg you

To cook as you please,

But don?t overlook the

Importance of cheese!


As a casserole topping

All bubbly and brown,

It will make your fine cooking

The talk of the town.


As a spread for a sandwich

Or a puffy souffl?

It will help you to cope

On your busiest day.


Its tang and its flavor

Will tempt and will tease;

?Most all of your dishes

Can be sharpened with cheese!

    • 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.
