Lol. You guys! The whole point is the 'evidence' eg stats etc are massaged/hidden therefore I can't provide it to the doubters, but I don't need to. Thats why i advised talking to local residents etc who will back up what i have said. To the person who lives in the co-op all I can say is you must have v gd double glazing,and sleep soundly and a lot! Talk about believe what The Man says! Of course we all know that horse racing isn't fixed, that boxing isn't run by crooks, that intelligence services do not spy on us, that "we're all in it together" because thats what they tell us.

Well there's crime everywhere. It's everywhere. Everyone says there's crime everywhere. It's awful. Everyone says so. Everywhere it is. Look, there's some over there. I hate it here. Crime everywhere. Been here years. There was crime then but it was alright. But now there's crime everywhere. Everywhere there's crime. Everyone'll tell ya. And the police don't care. Scared they are. Never see 'em. Well, except when crime happens. Which is all the time. It's everywhere. Police don't care. Crime's everywhere. I never go out me 'ouse. There's crime everywhere. You see it in every street. Never go out. Too scared. Her next door, dropped her purse. Never saw it no more. Crime everywhere. I don't go out, haven't been out me house since 1985. Coz of all this crime.

    • 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.
