Mmm, tinned pears with chocolate sauce. Nice one Help-Ma.


And Salsaboy, you're so right. Even now, in spite of knowing that it's rock solid and so bitter it will give you a poorly tummy, it looks golden and plump and enticing, and I'm almost tempted to try again in case the other side's better.


The other side is not better.


Conference pears are not so mendacious.

So sorry Rosie.


Eddie Izzard....


Pears can just f*u*ck off too. 'Cause they're gorgeous little beasts, but they're ripe for half an hour, and you're never there. They're like a rock or they're mush. In the supermarket, people banging in nails. "I'll just put these shelves up, mate, then you can have the pear." ? So you think, "I'll take them home and they'll ripen up." But you put them in the bowl at home, and they sit there, going, "No! No! Don't ripen yet, don't ripen yet. Wait til he goes out the room! Ripen! Now now now!"

OK-doh-kay


Ribs of Joy


If you're in Brixton Village and you're heading out of Honest Burger.


Walk down toward Brixton Cornucopia, which will be on the left corner. Stop there and look across right. There's a place across the way, with darkwood windows and about 10 or so small tables.


That's the utterly-delicious-ribs-place (where I broke said tooth), I think they're Columbian/Brazilian, maybe


Friggin lovely it is though



Netts(tu)


(inset toothless smile here)


P.s. it might be called Elsantafereno

    • 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.
