Ha ha - I knew what you meant. ;-)


Is everywhere charging to get in? I fancy a cheap (ish) night out locally and refuse to pay to get in anywhere! Was thinking of staying local until about 11, then heading to the South bank for the fireworks, with a couple of bottles of fizz. Anyone else done this before?

Yep, did it two years ago, and have to say never again....trying to get on a bus back home was manic. Might have been alright if I'd have been as wasted as the other 90% of the bus but I wasn't. Close as I have ever come to going postal...

The expectation is having a skinfull....Funny but as I get older that means less to me.... Been there, done that, had the pavement pizza/hangover/woken up in a strangers house...

I also go to Dawsons Heights. People set off fireworks up there and the views are the best, better than poncy Primrose Hill. Maybe we should all go up Dawsons Heights this year. An impromptu EDF meeting.

However, I MAY go to the Bridges and see the fireworks. Being bikers we tend to park just south of the river on bike parks and have no probs with transport. :)

ALSO may be in Broadstairs. Sometimes bike down there and stay for the night. People set off fireworks on the beach and or jetty which is rather stunning to see around the Bay.

    • 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.
