Hurrah, was going to PM you to make sure you were ok :)


I'll second the thanks to Georgia, it was indeed lots of fun, and it was great to meet everybody who turned up, was bullied into coming (huguenot) or swung by on the offchance (Polly Dorner).

I'm sure official documenter Andrew will post up a couple of snaps of us all looking squiffy soon.

Dear Mikewbate,


Is he still in bed with a hangover? Someone phone him, wake him up! Mr Crystalclear, you look as though you are enjoying yourself. Do I sense from you that you will be posting on your flickr site that you are 'spoken for' again soon? It is obvious from the photo that you feel comfortable again in female company. Aren't you a handsome bunch!

Sorry I never made it, I admit I started a bit early thanks to England's pathetic performance in the rugby, then bumped in to some friends unexpectedly, and before I knew it last orders was being called! Glad you had fun, and will double efforts next time...

DM, your hunch about Mr Crystal may well be right ;-)

OK - nice to feel wanted!


Here are the first few - click on the picture to take you to the set.



I have set them as private but the link above will let you see them - ie you have to get the link from this site to get to them. Not Fort Knox stuff but gives a little privacy. Please let me know if you want any removed. Some of them could do with a crop (no Britney jokes please) but it was better to get them up.

Dear Mr AndrewDBlack,


Yes, well done. It is great to see everyone had some fun. I feel as though I was there. Is that Mr Mockney Piers in that photo above with Ms Georga Bullock? I am looking closely at everyone I see out and about on Lordship Lane now, so if I come up to someone and initiate a conversation like I have known you for an age - it is because I feel as though I have!

    • 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.
