Been to Costa da Luz on holiday once years ago (much better than the Costa da sol) and then lived in Alcaidesa (near La Linea) for a year when we spent a fair few weekends over Tarifa way. Like the vibe there (more surfer) and not so many russian gangsters/hookers or Brits in Football shirts as on the other side ;-)

It took a Spanish thread and rumours of a Scots gangster to smoke him out... They're after ye Frankie boy!


ETA: FFS!

Me encanta esta parte de Espa?a tambi?n, visito la zona dos o tres veces por a?o. Comparto un piso all? con otros cuatro amigos en Conil de la Frontera y han estado yendo all? durante 20 a?os. Yo lo echo de menos cuando no me voy con bastante frecuencia, y yo necesito desesperadamente para practicar mi espa?ol!! Me gusta la idea de un foro biling?e, por lo que no se deje intimidar por la negatividad mentalidad cerrada!

. . . . . . . . . .

Since when has it been acceptable to swear and abuse and call someone an arsehole on the forum because you do not agree with an opinion? I wonder if Admin finds this acceptable?

This also shows the dangers of allowing posts and threads in entirely foreign languages.

Semantically speaking it really translates as silly-billy. My dad taught me that word when I was still living in Spain when I was about 3.


Do feel free to report it to admin to bring it to is attention.


But don't worry, there's no danger, I've a sneaking suspicion there's a Spanish speaking moderator out there keeping an eye on things.

It was upfront Razors. Just happens to be in a language you don't understand. If the thread was titled say 'West Ham Supporters in Dulwich' would that bother you if you weren't a fan? I sure it wouldn't. This isn't any different. It's just someone trying to get a group together of people with something in common. Writing it in Spanish would certainly bring to the attention of those it's aimed at more than if it were it English.

Disagree on both bogus points as would anyone reading the thread. It is entirely reasonable that a local internet forum in France would be in French, in Germany German etc. If people want to start a forum (not thread) in another language other than the language of the forum (country) they are in-thats completely fine and unless you read/spoke that particular language there would be no point in joining that forum as you could not be informed/participate or enjoy could you.

Why dont we start threads in hundreds of other languages only and see how long the forum lasts.

    • 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.
