Am no where near pension age but think DT is v lovely... can see how it would take slightly dodgy eyesight to mistake you for him though :-P

Pensioner only - are you kidding?? Loooove David Tennant and am a long way off pension age (given how things are with annuity values going probably getting further away by the day!)


However, I think you might need the eye sight of a pensioner to confuse you. (And I don't mean that in the insulting way it could be read)

Ah I really love that. Messages.


"But WHAT messages" they cried. You know, JUST messages, I replied.


Cheers Ted.

David tennants spotted RED APPLE on lordship lane today.

I spoke to it and it said it was staying in dulwich for a couple of days.

I advise yoghurt to go there and eat for yourself.

Same. Not heard that for years....I used to get old Mrs Stuart her messages every Wednesday from Dunlops van.

Yeah MrBen, you're a handsome chap and all, but blimey, David Tennant? You wish.


I have loved that man since he was an irascible singing cop with bad teeth in Blackpool (they all have bad teeth in Blackpool), and even now he has fallen from grace and is doing that terrible comedy quiz show thing, I STILL LOVE HIM, and I am here to tell you that he is a bona fide heart throb, and I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE.

    • 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.
