seriously quids?


fair enough if that's your impression but... look back at the poster in question: the prevailing attitude was one of 'superiority' towards the majority of posters on this forum (whether they be regulars, 'cliquers', infrequent posters, one-offs or not). It was quite often, disingenuous and dishonest too.


First time I plucked up the courage to post on here, I was taken to task by one of the moderators who didn't happen to share my view. But you know, you move on, you don't call 'clique' and....you might find you can respect people's differing viewpoints, even those that *shock horror* may be diametrically opposed to yours.


Something, I'm afraid, certain posters could not.

dunno about TLS as before my time but who on here genuinely likes 'piling in' using 'for safety in numbers' as a reason for that? I'd like to think people don't need to do that.


don't get what you mean by 'post not poster'. calling forumites a 'don't know any better' or 'nasty piece of work' etc and talking down to them didn't endear them to many, absolutely no co-operation involved in individuals' response to that.


(that's the ones that were 'brave' enough to respond, others may have been put off, more's the pity).

      ED Forum Drinks - anyone interested?

      By malumbu · Posted

      At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]

      Pallets, MDF board, PA system needed

      By GeF · Posted

      Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!

      That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By malumbu · Posted

      I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
