Great to meet everyone yesterday. There were a couple of things that I said I'd post on the thread, below. Hope to see you all again soon. I'm off for our wedding and honeymoon from this weekend until the May Bank Holiday weekend so I'll catch up with you all when I'm back!


Look after yourselves...

Yoga

http://www.gaiastudio.co.uk/ This yoga studio is on the corner of Maxted Road and Oglander Road and I am doing yoga sessions there at the moment and really enjoying them. They have two pregnancy yoga classes - on Saturdays and on Thursdays. I am doing one of the regular classes and one of the pregnancy classes. My yoga teacher, Kim, is also pregnant. Her class is brilliant and she's starting a pregnancy class in Forest Hill (a bit far for me but she's an excellent teacher and well worth travelling for - the link to her class is here http://www.brightyoga.co.uk/pregnancy.html).


Hypnobirthing

We are planning on going on one of these guys' courses... http://www.calmbirthcalmbaby.com/what-we-do-2/hypnobirthing/

    • 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.
