Not always a bad thing. I didn't know there was a single night there. Seems I missed out.

I do remember this being put on The Forum a couple of months ago actually, I would have gone if I wasnt so fecking busy! And a singles night full of women sounds like a bit of a result...whens the next one? And where do all these singletons hide themselves during the average working week? East Dulwich seems to have been purged of all single folk judging by the preponderence of breeding couples filling every cavity and available open space on Lordship Lane. That wasnt supposed to sound quite so rude but hey-ho! ;-)

It was advertised quite a lot on this forum and was organised by the Dulwich Supper Club and not Liquorish itself and was not a Facebook event.


Sweetgirl, I am sorry that your friend felt the need to move on from the event but we had over 30 people turn up and the ratio was not too bad. It was all organised by us in our spare time and we did not charge for it, so I guess that we cannot please everyone all of the time and we've had a lot of positive feedback from the people who did turn up.

There always seem to be plenty of single people at Liquorish on a normal Friday or Saturday night, so I'm not sure why a specific 'singles night' is required!? As a single man, I'd rather stick to a normal night, since a night specifically for singletons cries out with an air of desperation to me. I suspect other men may share my view? Maybe I have an stereotypical image of the type of women (and indeed men) that frequent these events, but I'd just rather do my thing without the pressure of 'singles night' ringing through my ears.


What we need in ED is a decent late night venue. And that doesn't include Kebab and Wine!!! I'm only just winding up by 1am - like a well coiled spring, ready to pounce!

Acedout - we just reserved an area in the bar and it was chosen because they did not charge us anything for the hire. There were no signs indicating that it was a singles night, so no one else would know that it was a gathering for single people, it just looked like a bunch of people having a drink.


As I said, you cannot please everyone all of the time and you do not have to turn up to any of our events!

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
