Give you a clue, stand up Irish comedian, (not that fricking good coz I'm currently out of work!) Bored shitless and stuck at home with glandular fever for the last 2 weeks, came across your forum on the internet by accident one lunchtime and decided to stick around, and enjoy the banter, tons of joke material and ideas here! (of course would never steal anything without first asking permission of the author). Seem like a nice friendly bunch of non-intrusive, witty, clever people with decent (well most of you) senses of humour.

A few ED references, was spotted in an ED pub apparently by a MySpace user but my work computer policy prohibits access to MySpace, Facebook etc..


Anyway, can't be bothered to investigate further!


Richard Armitage (Robin Hood and The Vicar of Dibley's husband) goes to the Hamlet's Gym if that's of any interest!

Of any interest - probably to half the female population of the U.K. :))

You are Jimmy cricket and I claim my ?5

Alas my true identity has been uncovered! (sorry guys have just read my post and realised how egotistical it appears, in having all of you trying to guess my identity, and getting a kick out of it to boot!) will just put it down to the 102/104 temperature I've been suffering over the last 2 weeks and medication!

    • 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
