Now this is a good idea *BOB*. What songs could we request from him and his combo?

Queen's 'Liar' is obvious. Eagles 'Lying Eyes' (the punishment would be in having to perform it as much as anything),

Boz Scaggs 'Lido Shuffle' (pronounced the UK way). At the end of the performance present him with a lyre.

For an encore suggest Mott The Hoople's 'All The Way To Memphis'. I know it's not a song about lies but I don't half like it.

I imagine he'd start his set with Shaggy's seminal It wasn't Me, followed by Trust Me by Elton John and if the outcry persists, Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce.


Strictly speaking, Anthony wasn't lying though. He did 'go to the Plough' and there was indeed a band called The Nites playing there. Perhaps he has short term memory loss and can remember going to the pub but not why he was going or what he did there. Like in 'Memento' - only in The Plough and with less killing?


I bet if you roll his sleeve up there'll be a tattoo there saying "go to Plough - play aaaaaawesome set"

I have had some pretty bad food in there (a pie on a Sunday lunch time brings back particularly bad memories) but I've also had some good food too. Last 2 times I've been have both been solid


It's an M&B pub so the food is centrally sourced and controlled so I'm never going to get a steak (for example) to compare with Franklins but it can be fine

Good spot JL, I'd like to hear The Nites cover it.


YOU'RREE IN SAASPPIISHIIAAUUN YU'RE A LIIIAAR


I'd go as far as The Plough for that.

I'm sorry about the misunderstanding Dez.

In my defence I was a little confused at the time but I'm much better now.

If it makes you feel any better I'm prepared to let bygones be bygones about the assault on my imaginary brother.

Faults on both sides, six of one half a dozen of the other and all that.


Both the pub and I have improved immeasurably since.

    • 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.
