Accidents happen


But more often its people just not caring or giving a shit


If not enough people give a shit, the who,e place becomes unreadable and a mess. Have a look at the message board on lordship lane.com if you want to see the end result


You for example cfccfc2 have taken time out of your oh so busy life to say here here to someone else. This gives you little scope to claim any moral high ground


To address minders point. People have been "new to the forum" for years. But without this incessant and increasing litter. People are well within their rights to say its out of order just as they are when a tidy town becomes covered in crisp packets and other litter from newcomers

I was killing time at work, but its something that I've genuibely wondered about, as I thought people were actively selecting this section rather than classifieds to swll stuff, and it struck me as pretty dumb, new or not.


As for having a life, I have two small kids, so I don't get out much.

    • 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.
