we need more cats. lots more cats to deal with this MENACE.


Fsailing that, lets get the populace tooled up and deal with this avaian scum ourselves.


First the pigeons, then we can move onto shoplifters and burgulars. scum that do not deserve to live.


lets get organised and clean up our manor

There is quite often a problem with pigeons in my road, and lots of them were roosting on parts of my house, under the eaves and on window sills. I installed plastic spikes which worked. They aren't a particularly amusing topic as they are vermin. Southwark has posted several prominent signs around which say do not feed the pigeons - apparently it is against the law.

I'm Ren?, Ren's distant French cousin (twice removed).


Carter has specified he is an engineer, therefore not qualified to keep the pigeon population under control. So why do you suggest we call for Carter?


Can you clarify what you meant by call Carter ...he only shoots clay ones. Are you suggesting he's trigger happy?


Please keep in mind any possible libelous or offensive claims or I'll Section 127 vous

maybe the pigeons didn't get the 'o' level grades they wanted in English and as a result they can't read the signs !

First of all, the shoplifting pigeons. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/north_east/6907994.stm

ah, susancarpenter, welcome back. Think of it thus:


(Pigeon gets on Tube, say at South Ken)

Ticket inspector gets on Tube at Gloucester Rd: "Have your tickets ready for inspection, please!"

Pigeon - coo!

Ticket inspector to pigeon - Have you paid your FARE?

Pigeon - coo!

(Tube doors open at Earl's Court, pigeon disembarks and flies off, having paid not a cent in FARES)

    • 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.
