I have a darling friend who is attending EDF drinks with me tonight... as part of my attempt to lure him from Sheffield to be my partner-in-crime in London.


Now - the deal-breaker, well not really - but a slight concern expresed to me is whether or not he is likely to meet the man of his dreams in East Dulwich. (Can I add that he has cheekbones to die for, and is himself the man of many men's dreams) .... and so I am wondering if Rainbow drinks do still exist? Certainly it was an idea knocking around last year .... did they happen, are they still happening ... and if so, can someone new join your gang?

Sunday breakfast opening at "Fire", although that seems to be rather more GHB and ketamine than drinks and light-hearted chat with perfect man...

I'll let you know - we'll be there next weekend.

Word has it that there are plans afoot for Fire to 'go straight', as it happens.. what is the world coming to?!

Oh KalamityKel my love - I know only too well ... But if there was such a thing as a perfect man he would of course be gay...


Sigh.

Are you allowed to say Homos these days, I thought that was not considered PC. Aren't we supposed to say gay??

It's a potential minefield, Attila.


'Gay' is always your best bet at the time of writing. 'Gays' is ok too, but not 'The Gays' - which isn't.

'Queer' is fine too (since 'Queer as Folk' has been aired - you can't really complain) - but it sounds better coming from the gays themselves, not normal people.

'Bummer' is (apparently) ok if you listen Chris Moyles and read FHM. So they say.

'Faggot' is still out though, I'm afraid - though still very popular in many parts of America.


Personally I think it's time that 'fruit' made a comeback.

    • 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.
