I used Lordship Lane carpets when we first moved here and they did a good job but a bit expensive. Next job we went elsewhere and ended up with a squared pattern lino not squaring up and looking awful, but it was cheaper. Last job- which was our stairs- we went back to Lordship Lane carpets and very pleased with job. It wasnt the cheapest quote but then again we only had to have it done once so it probably was.

For sure *Bob*


I wonder if St Bennison kneels on a LSL carpet tile, when fiddling with his pipes.


And does Bennison generally do old boilers ? I mean, I know "whatshername" had him round, but maybe that's a one off service he gave her.


She certainly seems happy.

I am sure Sue must a sense of humour unless its true.

I do have a sense of humour - which does not include this kind of "humour", either about myself or anybody else who is named in person.


I strongly object to being the butt of an offensive personal comment which also involves a local tradesperson.


You should be ashamed of yourself, AC, particularly as you have met me off the forum.


And could the people who have quoted it also delete that part of their post please, thanks.

Intersting that men refer to such outwardly masculine items such as a car or boiler in the female context...

    • 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.
