Hello,


I am currently carrying out a piece of research on eating behaviour in adult females for my MSc Health Psychology, and would like to invite you to take part.


Much research into eating behaviour has looked at the role of parents, but this often focuses on responses from parents themselves or of children/adolescents. I am interested in looking at how a person's perceptions of their parents/caregivers parenting style and feeding behaviour, may have influenced their eating behaviour in adulthood.


I would really appreciate it if would take part in the research. If you would like to take part, all you need to do is click on the link below and complete a short online survey. It will take you no more than 25 minutes. You also need to be female,over the age of 18, and living in the UK. The survey is completely anonymous and you will be given further information once you begin the survey.


The link is: http://www.surveygizmo.co.uk/s3/1445133/56b4c8bd324a


Thanks for your help!

This sounds interesting to me. I'm curious though why you are only interested in responses from females?

HI Alan, There are a couple of reasons for the focus on females. Firstly, much of the current research available tends to focus largely on females as the percentage of females with eating disorders/unusual eating habits is greater in this population. Also, as it is a project for a Masters, we are encouraged to try not to get to ambitious with our research (in terms of the number of variables we are looking at). We only have a year, and I think this might be largely for the sake of our sanity. I am at some hoping to continue this research as part of a PhD though and incorporating males into the research would certainly be part of this. I hope that helps, and sorry you will not at present be able to take part in the research. If you would like any more information though, please feel free to contact me on my university email which is [email protected]??Thanks

    • 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
