If I had to choose two, I?d go for fat and middle class. You can get over being fat, and who cares about being middle class 😃

I think we should be mindful not to be too harsh on TS. He may have melted somewhere, cringing or mock dry heaving even, which seems prevalent amongst a certain group of people.


Or maybe just binging on more Jay Rayner reviews, or even cooking his restaurant at home kit, which is nice to do on a Saturday. Who knows, maybe he?s got Steven Taylor round for a slap up meal.


Anything is possible.

More delectable prose from Jay today to satisfy my base middle-class instincts. While reading this I've found that I've managed to slip an entire roast chicken in the front of my trousers, without even realising it....

I suppose that's all one can expect from a typical EDF male lounge lizard. It's not within spitting distance of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voina#How_to_Snatch_a_Chicken.

We're pretty tight. I read his article each Sunday. And I always comment. One time he even replied.



[Okay, I think I've milked this joke enough. I'll stop now;)]

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By ianr · Posted

      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.
