I've just looked back over the posts. I can't believe I was taken in by this whole thing.

Boy, is my face red.

In just a few words you've exposed it for the ruse, it's now clear it was.


I'll be right back.


There, just had to throw myself on my knees and thank the Good Lord for your ability to put all, right, just when everyone was on the verge of being gulled completely.

AcedOut. He'll tell us what to do.

PUT THE KEYBOARD DOWN! WE MEAN YOU NO HARM! COME OUT OF THE BUILDING WITH THE TRIKE OVER YOUR HEAD!

WE NONE OF US ARE INTERESTED IN CHRIST BEING HURT. NOT AGAIN. HIS FATHER HAS SAID HE WILL NOT PRESS CHARGES. IN THIS WORLD.

I AM RELIABLY INFORMED THAT SAID FATHER IS 'A BIT TASTY' THOUGH AND HE SAYS HE'S NOT GOT ALL DAY, AND HAS THE OPTION OF AN 'OLD TESTAMENT' ENDING TO THE PROCEEDINGS. WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

IF YOU ARE WANTING THE SACRIFICE OF A HYPNOTIST, PAUL DANIELS AGENT HAS JUST BEEN IN TOUCH AND SAYS HE'S UP FOR THE JOB.

WOULDN'T HE BE CLOSE ENOUGH?

THINK OF THE CHILDREN, ALLFORNUN, THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

    • 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.
