Did you not have seeding last year RD to determine the q/f draw? ( I haven't checked, honest)

Sort of, in order to determine who would play who in the head to heads, the top 8 players in the league were given the draw numbers 1 to 8 accordingly, so when the official draw was made and ball 3 was drawn to play ball 7, then the 3rd place player in our league would play the 7th, and so on. As we only have 8 players this year I'll just do it alphabetically, e.g. you would be 1, and I would be 8. There's no real advantage to be gained as the official draw is random. Originally we had about a dozen players, which didn't tie in with the FA Cup format, so the league format was introduced to whittle the dozen down to 8, so we could then follow the FA Cup format of knock out games. Had we started with 16 players then we would've started the head to heads a round earlier and not bothered with the league...

    • 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.
