Do you ever see the day when there will be a stoner* cafe / bar in ED ? If so, what would be an ideal location ?


Im thinking the NCR would be a decent location for a cafe or two. Maybe the Cherry Treee could be a stoner megacafe ?











* yes,I know, stoners are tiresome wankers, especially the American ones who listen to Bob marley

Im thinking soemthing along the amsterdam lines - a sealed smirking room with decent vents and filtration.Sorta like the Bulldog in Amsterdam, but with a proper selction of decent beers & a few pool tables


Of course, a back garden would be a bonus in the summer, so the Mag is probabaly out

Fine idea - then the good citizens of ED could all compete over who had the purest, most environmentally friendly/organic, strongest, most refined, hardest to obtain, most expensive shit


- and spend hours staring at Orla Kiely patterns saying "You know, I really CAN see what the fuss is all about"


- and saying how much better it was in the old days when you could key-off a quarter of Moroccan (a bargain at ?7.50 from the bloke with the dodgy porn mags) as easily as crumbling an oxo cube.


mmn, bliss.

Yes Jimmy


Back in the old days/daze I visited there once.


You just ask for a Ribena I was told, so in I went.



"I'd like a Ribena please"


"80p please" and the lady handed me a Ribena.


"NO, i'd like a R-I-B-E-N-A please" I said twitching and nodding, winking, hoping she'd understood.


"Wassa matta wit you, you aks for a RIBENA, I give you a RIBENA, then you aks for RIBENA whilst you got one in y'hand"


Luckily somebody saw my plight and pulled me in the right direction.



I was glad when it closed, to good to be true back in those days, like a mirage of sorts.

    • 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
