What does this mean?

I can't agree with you. The fact that they seem to be sanctioning someone who posts vile messages is very suspicious and makes me think this person is involved with the BB. If that was my business I would make some sort of statement to distance myself from them. I guess it must be Jamie Younger from the Palmerston who is involved with this venture as he also owns the Herne.


There have been several threads on the Palmerston in the past few years which did not portray them in a good light. One was started by Food Stories.

Jesus Christ? I read the ES review from the online link provided by Taper on this forum at 11.20am on the morning of 5 Sept some 4 hours before I replied to your post and some 2 hours before you thanked Taper on this forum for providing it! Giddyaunt posted several misinformed posts about the ES review questioning its impartiallity-check back and look-if you cant see anything get down to Specsavers (and no, this is not an endorsement, before your accusations start flying) No I wont post you a copy of SN review-check their website or contact them yourself if you are that interested. All the best.

Giddyaunt - I now getting very fed up with your snide slurs and accusations which you continue to make from behind your computer. Would it please be possible for us to meet up for a pint and you can say what you want to say to my face? I will certainly repeat all I have said to you and more to your face. If not, please do not publish any more slurs or accusations about me.
I am sorry to hear that. I suffer with mild cerebal paulsey which can affect my ability to properly percieve events in their correct sequence and my spacial awareness. Might I suggest you get someone who is able to read all the postings to you in date and time order and who is able to explain what they mean and their relevance to the subject in question before you start writing stupid comments that make you look like a complete imbecile. All the best

Sorry to get back to the subject in hand but I went to the Begging Bowl last night.

Lovely atmosphere and helpful and friendly staff. I had a mojito (with Thai Basil), others had wine, we tried squid, gurnard, rabbit, duck, tofu, sirloin steak and broccoli stir fry. All gobbled down except for broccoli which we found too salty. ?22 each for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

So , is it a good time to visit the begging Bowl, whats the food like. and when can i book a ring side seat for the "BIG FIGHT LIVE" between Giddyaunt and IJJ1963, i can order some brockley and sling it at them. i hope this all stops soon ,may be it would nice if you both book a table for two and talk to each other like men , settle your arguments , and PISS OFF . my name is Morgan Freeman

Tillie, I think Giddyant/giddy aunt is Gidget, and IJJ1963 is a bit confused.


IJ... sorry your posts were met with such hostility, but you have to understand that this forum has a long history of fake recommendations, so your incredibly enthusiastic tone set the alarm bells ringing. But calling someone a nonce, and offering to meet them mano-a-mano is just childish and embarrassing. You should really stop.w

    • 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.
