Very shrewd question but, again, we?re just splitting hairs if it?s all about the appearance and style of the item.

You either want it or you don?t (your friend I mean - oops).

Can you be a bit more vague? I?m almost tempted. Can I have a think about it and get back to you?

Oh, that looks perfect as been looking for one for ages. Any chance of a couple of close-up photos?

DDF - those ARE the close-up photos. Do you want sub-atomic photos ?? If so I?ll have to take the item down the lab which will be inconvenient. If I do this for you can you absolutely guarantee to change your mind and cancel before coming over - after having seen me go to the trouble for you ?

Yeah sure, have a think, look at the photos again and get back to me - but I am trying my damndest to be vague, really vague. The only way I could make it vaguer would be using another language. Which is asking a lot. Again.

I?d guess you need at least an hour, but the roads are perhaps dangerous in this snow/ice. Perhaps you can promise to pay if I deliver tomoro - then lowball offer me when I turn up having done you a favour ?

I have an axe and a mallet.

We?ll make it fit, or I?ll post the remainder.

These photos are exactly what I need !

Would you give me permission to use them on eBay if I end-up having to sell on there, please ?

Well done you !!

Make me an offer?


Also willing throw in the photos converted to an obsolete image format from the early 90s (attached). Should be unviewable to almost everyone.

    • 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.
