good shout Piers - and why do I think Bob Stanley has an ED connection?


Equally enjoyed the BfL Jah!


How about this combo


Steve Earle & Emmylou Harris


EH just IS on of the most gorgeous women alive. Ethereal and earthy at the same time. And yes I know how old she is but that don't matter surely?

Do you think that makes them the most posted band in this room? Possibly, anyway, always welcome.


Here are a young band from the states, been about for a couple of years and quite clearly love British 90s guitar pop, and add more than a smidgeon of MBV in to the mix.

It's frightening thought when mid-90s is already retro, but time and tide...

never see you smile

Yr so Wonderful

I'm listening to it at the moment as it goes. It's very different, certainly nothing like as immediate as Stories from the City..., more of a grower, but really beautiful. Works much better at home on the hi-fi while reading a good book, than it does at the office, with the headphones, bashing out code.

I much prefer the series 1 theme to the second. (I am aware it's the same tune)

    • 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.
