On the upside thousands and thousands of people have made great memories of amazing days in London?s beautiful parks listening to music that they love with friends and family


I reckon that?s a good thing (and that almost always reasonable steps are taken to consider local people, but you can?t please all the people all the time)

How?s that ?evident??


Because everyone in the immediate vicinity of the rye is still ravaged and could never accept inevitable reality?


You?re right on the rye i assume?

Ah right, that?s ok then. As long as you had fun, who cares about the neighbours.


And pk, I don?t live directly next to the Rye no, but I can be empathetic towards people who have concerns. Ever heard of that word empathy? I know it?s a swear word to most in the 21st century.


Louisa.

Alas I can't say I canvassed every house for opinion (perhaps next year) - but as a very sociable bit of street with a lot a neighbours who know, chat and socialise with each other on a day to day basis - I can report that nobody I know was RAVAGED. A few said they wished they'd got tickets. A few said they wished they were younger, or didn't have young kids, so they could have got tickets. Some went out for the day and did something else. Some were a bit grumbly but ended up at "ah well" and moved on. A few said 'our kids are going, hope it's good'. They're generally an empathetic lot, I expect they simply extended some of that empathy in the general direction of the park for a day or two. You should give it a go.


However.. I will be sure to let them all know that someone who doesn't even live nearby was determined to get in a tiresome stew about it on their behalf - for internet kicks.

Good points Nigello although I hope that we do not go the way of other boroughs in terms of the volume of events in future (no pun intended).

Ravaged! Depressing! Terrible!


Classic stuff. Straight out the Daily Mail!


The individuals problem's are about a lot more than a tame music festival happening 2 days out of 365 with a finishing time of 10pm, they are with the world and life itself. Whilst quite sad, it is also a source of amusement.

Dont have too much audio, lighting or indeed fun, or else there'll be a thread about you on this forum come Monday morning.

    • 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
