I have to keep my own number though!

I am sick of their little games and they are being accused of not paying taxes.

Oh - and my phone can't always get a signal in my own flat even though vodafone told me they were installing a new mast on or near my side of Peckham Rye.


Thanks for any input!

And I'm going to recommend tmobile.....great packages and free blackberry. Virgin have good deals too but there's a tmobile shop in rye lane that you can pop into to get advice or help with anything.


AND have had no problems getting a signal at home so you shouldn't have any problem either.

If you go with Tmobile or Orange they share each others networks so if you lose a tmobile signal you can pick up an orange signal (if available) where ever you are.

I've not found it makes much difference for strength of signal though - I work underground and Vodafone wins out on mobile signal through our office.

Whilst Vodafone are right ones for conning the customer with a lot of hidden charges (a friend of mine got whacked with a ?500 phone bill once after not having extra charges explained to her after upgrading to an Iphone) and are certainly not the cheapest, if you've been with them for a while give them a call saying you're thinking of leaving them for another network (do some research of other packages that would be better suited to you) and see if they can offer you a better deal than what you are already on. Make a fuss. You might be surprised what they suggest. :)

    • 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
