Thanks Mockers - I will speak to Mr. Moos to do my part in the search for the Eleventh Man but I suspect that he will think it's a silly game for foreigners and not want to play.


PGC - do you think the cricket team might just want your milkshakes? ::o They do bring all the boys to the pitch.

I might just be able to make this although I haven't played for 25 years. I used to be quite a handy opening batsman when I was a youngster. I could do with a bit of exercise as well, so if you're a man short and a bit desperate, a nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse etc...

I may not have the car either citizen. My position, which I?m sure is similar to yours, is such that if women decided to have babies I don?t have a car. I will have to see if any of them are due.


Oh Jah don't worry I haven't played an actual game of cricket in about 13 years. This is why we must have a net. This Saturday anyone?

Hello East Dulwich Forumers,


This horrendous picture is of me, Raju, captain of King's Road CSC taken today. That bump on my head was me miscalculating how to bat against our opening bowler - and boy does it hurt. In our last match his bowling figures were: 7 overs - 5 maiden overs - 3 runs conceded - 3 wickets.


Anyway enough about him. On our website, we have a page with the details of the match (location, direction etc): http://www.krcsc.co.uk/match.php


If this has not already been done, I would like to establish the match stipulations and start time. In our previous match, we agreed on:

- 40 overs a side

- no bowler can bowl more than 7 overs

- one new ball to be used for both innings

- 2 members of the batting team to umpire


If you have any questions, email me at raju.mazumder at bristolalumni.org.uk


Cheers,


Raju

I'm afraid to say I'm a real doubt.


I shall do my best, but Saturday is looking manic, I have to be at this venue for 4pm, help set up / sound check, then the event starts, we finish playing at 1am, then have to wait for everyone to leave before we can get the gear out, so I will be lucky to get home by 4am, and think I will be totally knackered!


So what I am saying is I am going to try, but don't count on me. Sorry.

    • 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.
