I can see the promo video now. People emerging form the side streets off LL, singly or in twos and threes at first , making the odd excited chirp, then merging into columns as they move along LL, their stridulations mounting to a frenzy as they reach Poundland's door.

Will it follow the style of the new "golden arches" promo and use the music by yello "oh yeah"

The window coverings give a lot of (obviously, pro-Poundland) info, including that prices will not be higher than in their larger shops and various statements on the company’s environmental and charity credentials. I think the big bosses are well aware of the brickbats thrown at the firm and so are striking back.

Saw today across front of shop

Could east dulwich get anymore cringe

 

I assumed you meant this was graffiti, which would have been pretty cringeworthy, but in fact it's Poundland's own publicity material, which is immensely cringeworthy.

Ok, own up. Who was it that said this quoted in The Sun??


One fumed in an online forum: "How am I expected to push past all those tracksuits while I'm carrying a selection of cheeses from Mons (a local posh cheesemongers) not to mention the quince paste."


"You know, there may be a few scraps outside all of a sudden"

A classic bit of Sun journalism 🤣

It's quite disheartening to see a Poundland opens in East Dulwich to be honest.

Every time I've been to one of these stores, all they seem to have on offer in term of food are unhealthy snacks, like confectionary, sodas and crisps. really don't see any cause for celebration.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
