Are you sure this isn't a bad dream Mic ?


And anyway, how could they pooooossibly bring that ol' stuff up to date


Sue Ellen would be in rehab for a start (she's still in it isn't she) & JR would be at an equal right tribunal in no time



For some reason i've got Dallas crossed with Dukes of hazard in my head



Weird I know

I chuckled at the guardian tv review (though I'm sure grace dent would have been funnier)


"There's no sign of Pamela, probably for the best. She ? Victoria Principal ? was the first woman I ever really loved, and it might not be the same. But here's Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), looking ? good, though a bit weird. She's not saying much, and when she does her face doesn't move, as if she's been cryogenically frozen from the neck upwards and they don't totally thaw her out for filming in case she wilts, or her face explodes into a cloud of dust.


And JR ? Larry Hagman ? himself. Is that really him, sitting in that chair? Or Father Jack? He's clinically depressed, says the nurse in the home. Clinically deceased, I'd say. Well, perhaps there's the tiniest flicker in those eyes, under those magnificent silver bushes, but it hardly looks like the oil-fired furnace that was the driving force of this show for 13 years."

    • 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."
