Surfbobby, I have absolutely no intention of competing (if I compete against Mister Hannah6_6 aka David_Carnell our home life gets ruined) but will be there to help organise beers/pick up the pieces. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Tomorrow is my birthday I am not promising to be unhungover by 12.30 but I will be there!

No doubt to look at my crap typing.....That should have read 5:08!!! So under 6 mins is the aim.....Or do i bust a gut totally and aim sub 5 mins....I will vomit though....


I'm a slow drinker you see...that's my problem....plus of course, this sort of sport is not normal for my training!

So the bar has been set by the aptly named LostThePlot who is indending on running 4 min miles. Mate Good Luck, Gawd Bless, you can have the effing Bear. I'm with SMG, under 10 and I'll be happy, injury free and I'll be even happier (there's some dirty fighters taking part)


And it looks like the other bar will be set by Hannah6_6, many thanks to you Hannah. There will be a couple of other support staff (please bring your own High Viz Jackets)on hand too, so mucho gratis for that. No worries on the hangover front as we are breathalising all participants and those showing no signs of hangover will be made to down 2 pints (I reckon we make LostThePLot down 3 just for bringing 4 mins into the conversation ;-) )


Its shaping up folks, just don't let those nerves get to you, wouldn't want anyone to choke...well not from nerves anyway

    • 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.
