*cough, ahem, HHHHHUUuuhhhhmmmmm*


?arrgggghhhhh? I reckons thaaat'll be the interview in the baaaag, then.

I knows fer a fact my eye contact impresses on these occasions. My good left un has quite a gleam, but when I lifts the patch off'n my right un, it fair freezes 'em, so it does.


They'll 'ave 'ad sight of my CV. Cut Very, hand right, leg left, below knee. An' I'll lay to that.


So, is it doubloons, per diem? Or share of trove?


I'm versatile, so I am and will be comfortable in the roles of brigand, cook, general swab or casual mayhemist.


Awaiting the Capn's pleasure.

Still Rose of Peckham I forgive ee, we'll tavern-meet on my safe return and of gin you'll have your fill, I'm not a man afeard of lightening his purse when it's laden after a successful voyage.

Trinkets too shall you have and plentiful, mark me.


Wish me well, mistress.

AAaarr Right! Mistress Kel, rum, now be it? Then RUM SHALL IT BE! And no less trinkets for the matter.


But ee'll ha' to gi'mmee a time a'fore wi' Rose of Peckham, 'er of the gin.

A'fore I use up my ration of apostrophes.


Cap'n be stric' on the matter.


Damn his eye.

    • 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.
