...who escorted me close to my home tonight following getting completely lost around the back streets of Peckham on a diversion due to the very sad stabbing this evening. I was beginning to get quite distressed until you appeared.


THANK YOU! I hope you (and your boss) see this.

I saw him earlier this evening and showed him your post, he was

chuffed and his colleague promised to tell their Sergeant.

Are you SERIOUS FatherJack? That is AWESOME. Thank you SO much. He was such a lovely man; very conscientious and walked with me quite a while until I recognised my surroundings (which turned out to be very close to home). He clearly loves his job. I am sure my "detour" made him late too...he was on his way to check into a Station. Bless him. I really hope his superiors appreciate him. He stands out.


@ Sue: thank you! (Glad to see your "smileys" are back...your posts weren't the same without them :)) !)


@ Huguenot: if it had been you that had appeared, I'd have thrown a manky pork pie at you and run in the opposite direction! AHAHAHAHHAAAAAA...


@ Vik: United and Christmas hats have similarities, I grant you, but they are definitely NOT the same. Tutt Tutt!

We shall fight with confidence and strength...whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight at the football ground,

we shall fight on the pitch and in the streets,

we shall fight in the Etihad,

we shall fight at the Theatre of Dreams,

we shall fight on the terraces,

WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER!


See you on the 9th December! ;-)

    • 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.
