*Hmm the old Porter with a meths chaser will always get you like that DM.*


*Takes charge of own life and tus back into usual form having gotten tired of being a radish*


*Oh, Radishes dont wear clothes. Grabs Batdog and places him infront of my manly parts (face outwards) and shuffles out of the room*

"I would answer that post if I could just stop laughing - I have very expensive mascara all down my cheeks. You are a one Michael!"


*Pushes big red button concealed in the arm rest of chair, and covers eyes as pineapple ignites in Michaels hand*


*Texts Ana to bring dust pan and brush*

*Leave me alone, as you know - I am a sick man*


*Actually, hang on - sore bum, lots of pineapple impregnated with explosive glycerine - is it surprising that I am experienced explosions at both ends?*


*You rat-bag DM, you have poisoned me, blown me up, turned me into a variety of legumes and in the past castrated me and slaughtered my lactating donkey. I only hope the lovely lady and her boy-friend who wish to move to the area do not read this*


*Good job Batdog took the full force of the explosions. Please have him back, no honestly .... I insist*

    • 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.
